What you measure as zero ohms might be the rear window defroster, window
motors, or any other low impedance load. I wouldn't expect to find any
ground pins on the fuse block. There aren't any in my 2003 Civic,
according to the shop manual.

There are many ground wires attached to bolts already. The existing 12v
accessory outlet goes to a ground right there behind the panel. Why are
you looking for a different ground?
