Is it back to the drawing board one terminal at a time to find the grounded one(s)? | | |

This certainly isn't gospel, but my experience with this type of situation is.....it can be deceiving. If your circuits are fused properly, which they should be with a new harness, I would energize the system and see what happens.
Sometimes, you can get yourself "pre-confused" with checks of this nature. Good luck and be sure to report back on the results of your work.

Of course there will be continuity from the starter to the regulator. That is the path the electricity takes. From the starter terminal to any other hot wire should have continuity. This does not mean they are "Grounded" to each other. It means there is a wire running between them. My guess is you have no problem. | | |
