Nope, sorry, on your new pic I can see that it could not be B83 !

The solenoids seem to have their "own" earthpoint.

The reason I think it could be a broken earthpoint is that if both solenoids are tied together by earth, but not connected to the cars "ground", you will get connection between the solenoids "positive" connectors (but the double resistance) , but you would NOT get a connection to the cars ground (earth).

...duuh..was that understandable, my english is not that good...

And the figure of 25 , if it was ohm and BOTH solenoids, 1 sol. has 12-13 ohm, that gives a current (w. 14.4V) of slighly over 1 amp. witch seems reasonable to me.
