A capacitor for practical purposes does not pass direct current, except for leakage, so depending on exactly how you checked, what you saw may mean nothing. With a capacitor the size this is likely to be, if it were disconnected from the rest of the circuit and you checked it with the ohms setting of your meter, it should show a low (ish) resistance that drifted up to a very high (ish) resistance as it charged. This is much easier to see with an analogue meter, which may not be what you have. If it is dead shorted or dead open you should be able to see that with your multimeter. | |

What a did was to check from the beginning to end where the flow stopped, what so far the only spot where that happens is with the capacitor. | |
