As the topic states, when I test the cell when in the electrolyte solution I’m seeing somewhere in the range of 1.5 mega-Ohms of resistance. As I understand, that means there is a short somewhere in the cell  . However, when I test the cell before I put it into the electrolyte solution, I’m seeing an OL. It’s not until I put the cell into the electrolyte solution that I’m seeing this resistance. Is there anything that I’m doing wrong?
Could it be something  to do with either the Anode or the Cathode touching some part of the cell that is causing the short?

If there were a short, you would show no resistance. Out of the container, your cathode/anode should show "infinate resistance", if they are dry. In the electrode solution, there should be resistance, but it would vary depending on the amount of catalyzer in the water.
