Ok, so I got the fuses for the multimeter, put 'em in, set the meter for "200m," disconnected neg. batt. cable, put leads of meter from terminal to cable, got a reading and promptly blew the fuse.

Replaced the fuse, then I tried to set the meter on the "10A" setting (& moved the meter leads), and didn't get a reading at all. "0.00" Nada. That's strange. The fuse wasn't blown (I don't think the 10A setting even uses the fuse, actually.). But why wouldn't I get a reading on this scale when it was blowing the "200m" scale ?
