No it shouldn't - the WOT connection is made by a springy piece of 
metal, not a microswitch like the idle switch.

The springy piece of metal gets corroded and goes open circuit. 3 
Ohms sounds like the thing has a little oxide on it.

You can rip these things open, clean off the rust and seal-em up 
again.
