I had the meter set to beep and checking to make sure I didn't have any shorts and when I got to the heater it beeped from the main 12v source to the negative terminal of the heater. I just thought it was shorted. I then disconnected the wires and checked between the two heater wires. Makes since now that you explain it. It's like the coils used in my electronic cigarettes.

I have the end stops left to wire up and the led. I was doing a once over before I tried to apply any power to the printer. I noticed I have continuity between the positive and negative of the hot end heater. I'm thinking the heater is bad and that is maybe why the davinci board took a dump on me. I unhooked the hot end and checked from wire to wire and I have 5 ohm. I just need confirmation that I'm correct in thinking the hot end is bad.
