How much resistance did you expect to measure? 3 ohms would mean 0.33 A (if the resistance were linear), far less than the power supply's 20 A. If you expected 10 A in normal operation, the resistance should be 0.1 ohm (again, if it were linear) at 1 V. Because IC components are nonlinear, how much resistance you measure strongly depends on the ohmmeter's applied voltage. (Most ohmmeters don't apply a voltage, so don't expect a fixed value from your meter.)
