This kind of failure can happen if the cap is snugged up too tightly to the terminal strip and possibly gets melted a bit so that it contacts other terminals or internally shorts.  This is generally what we are providing these days:

I would replace that cap, recheck that resistance again to be sure it still shows as 249K, then fire up the amp and check DC voltages, then replace the 1000uF cap that isn't currently installed.
