RAMPS1.4 question about termistor pins

Hello, I have a problem regarding termistors, ever since I've coonected termistors, to my ramps board i could not get my printer started. allways with the error MAXTEMP TRIGGERED. I've deduced that my ramps 1.4 was faulty, because the when i put the ohmmeter probes to either one of he six pins, i get a reading of 30kOhm, so I bought a new one, and thisone gives a reading of 8kOhms,

in the link you can clearly see that the two pins of one termistor are connected through only a capacitor,

So my question is: Is it safe to wire everything up and fire it up, or will I ruin another arduino with this?

It shouldn't ruin an arduino or RAMPS unless it has +12v on it. Otherwise it should be safe to connect. A short circuit or -ve shouldn't hurt it

MAXTEMP suggest that the resistance is very low.

Maybe you have a short circuit on the thermistor wires or a short to to -ve or a faulty thermistor or the thermistor is wrongly configured in firmware.
