It's got dust on it from sitting so I'm gonna dunk it in the ultrasonic and see if that changes anything.

What is the exact resistance to ground on PPBUS_G3H?
Compare with values on all big coils; including L9080/580.

What am I comparing on L9080? Like PP2V5_NAND_SSD1 to ground? to ppbus_g3h? to PP2V5_SW1_TPS62180_SSD1? Sorry for my ignorance.
ppbus_g3h to ground when I first touch its about 5ohms then drops to 3ohms after 2-3 seconds then settles around 2.5ohms, but when I hold it a long time (20+ seconds) it keeps creeping down, got down to 1.9 before I got too impatient after about a min.

I'm an idiot, I really do apologize for wasting your time. A jumper I ran some time ago came loose when I was cleaning corrosion in the area and it seems I soldered it one pad over from where it should've been, a ground pad :|

Now to tackle yet another issue I created on this board. Some components by U4900 and U4920 blew away when I was removing U4920 to clean up a corrosive mess.

Turns out I did actually have it in the right spot. I'm so sick of this board. I removed CB702/3/4 as that's the area my jumper was in and PPBUS_G3H to ground is now 0.1ohms.

0.1 ohm shouldn't be through an high-side MOSFET, or power IC.
However, check first if you don't exact same short on any coil; don't forget L9080/580.
If none of them gives such short, then is safe to inject voltage into PPBUS_G3H.
Anyway, start with 1V and slowly increase if needed.
Set amp current to max first.
