Default testing ceramic heater?

I got it all together, but am popping a fuse when I turn it on.... How many amps SHOULD a typical ceramic core heater pull at 96v?

Is there a way I can test with a separate 12v battery or multimeter with the heater in place to rule out some internal short? I have to pull it all apart if I can avoid it!

should the heater leads show 'some' resistance, or 'no' resistance? I am wondering what is typical for these things?
