AMP Meter Reading Vascillating

Getting nowhere trying to use one of those battery quick disconnects to test for parasitic drain, so I decided to test for drain at the fuse box. Pull one fuse at a time and connect VOM +/- probes at each port.

I get a stable reading on fuse 15. Amp setting on 200m - seeing 03.7

When I test fuse 2 - the meter reading is all over the place. Retested that port using 2 different VOMs. Same thing - meter reading jumping around using different VOMs.

Curious as to what would cause all of this vascillation on the meter?
