What should be the average resistance between pluss and minus on a fan?

I have 9 Schyte SY1225SL12M in paralell and my Aquaero 6xt reports the current is too high (software fuse cuts). The resistance over the fans, each meassured seperately, is 19.4kOhm +/-0.1. The connectors on the fan burned a couple of days ago, but not sure if the fans was damaged. They run fine on Aquaero 5 and on external power, but that might be because the possible over current isn't high enough and that the AE6xt is just a little bit to tickly.

did you check the amp power draw for the 9 fan toghether you exceed the power controller could handle on a single connecter so split the to at least 4 channel so connector wont burn and to avoid having system under fire since each fan use 0,53 amp at full speed .

0.53A? That's twice what it says on the box?

But what about the resistance, if something happened there they would draw a lot more than that. Did I break the fans in some way? Isn't the resistance at least 1,000 times too high? Shouldn't it be in Mega Ohms, not kilo Ohms?
