I tested with just the resistor, new one out of package and put one lead on each side and was reading 5.5. How else do you test them?

Testing just the resistor you did fine.
Problem is that once the resistor is soldered to the connector you will no longer get a proper reading due to the connector. There is something about the connector that makes it read as shorted (0 ohms). This in parallel with your resistor is causing you to read .8-.9 ohms.
