You said you did a continuity check on the wires
I'm going to Assume you mean you use the meter beeper to see if any were broke, or shorted together
I'm going to suggest you set the meter on high ohms, Not beeper and read each wire to frame ground, all disconnected wires should read infinity, no connection to ground
A resistance reading even a high one means a pinched wire connecting to frame
The basic use of continuity beeper, is to look for a broken wire
It won't find wires with a resistance path to ground
You need to know which function to use and why, you are using it
Good point, the beeper beeps at anything under 150 ohms (Fluke), so a high resistance connection would "beep" just fine.
