Is it "faulty" because its being "shorted" . . . . . as it looks like a ferrite / powdered iron cored inductor of ~ 4 turns of #18 enameled magnet wire, being wound at one end of it, then being black shrink wrapped. Then some nice illegible white symbolization of . . . . PA4-1027-? . . . .is being stamped upon it.
OTHERWISE . . .type of equipment being from, brand, model, what is whole boards function . .ya da ya da ya da . . .

How do you know it is faulty if you don't know what it is and what its correct operation would be?
There are no visible signs of a defect here.

I have two other control boxes that have the same board and they both measure 2ohms where this is open circuit. Sorry thought I added the other picture as well. It’s a bit hard to see but it has blown out the end of the component. It is a control circuit for a dc motor.

It's likely a 1 mH inductor like this one.
The value is coded in the "102R" part of the label.

Being a passive component it is not likely to be the cause of the fault - just the result of it...... Something else in the circuit has gone wrong.
