Over all, this old meter has been pretty accurate over all. Recently, I was needing to test current and though the meter is conducting through it and turns on the load, it is NOT reading correctly. I have it in the 15A plug and load would not exceed 10A for sure. I just tested with a flashlight that has a .35ohm bulb at 4V and should be around 10A and is reading .7A. I them moved over the mA and it ranged out so I think that side might work ok. I typically only use it for reading mA anyway.
Thoughts? I am really confused since the meter conducts through it and the fuse in it is good. Just curious if anyone else has ever run into this? This has already cost some time in troubleshooting a battery drain on a car. I put the meter in series with the car battery to check for the drain. I think there is a drain and I just did not detect it.
