Fender Atomic Humbucker Damaged?

[Mattallica]

I recently replaced the lead wire on my Fender Atomic Humbucker Bridge pup. It now reads 8.43k resistance, and it's supposed to read about 16k. Trouble is, I never measured the resistance before replacing the lead wire, and I haven't put it into a guitar and listened to it yet. One of the 4 posts that the lead wire solders to raised out of the bottom of the pup a bit when I soldered the new wire to it, and I just pushed it back down.

Think it's messed up/damaged?

Update: both north and south coils show appx. 4k dc resistance each, but no continuity between north start/north finish and south start/south finish separately, and also no continuity from north start to south finish when put in series.

Check all of the solder joints.

Also, are you certain that the pickup is a Fender Atomic model and not, for example, their Tex-Mex model?
