Red face Purchased new meter and ...

My old meter looked dead, so I bought a new Analog MultiMeter

With range set to 0-50mA

The car is showing 30 mA is that (30/1000) .03 Amps.

If it is .03 amps - that doesn't sound like much.

Removing the fuse for the clock reduced the reading to 20 mA.

No other fuse reduced it more, though I found it interesting that removing sme seemed to raise the mA to 50.

There is a "stray green" wire hand tied to a fuse. Tried to trace it but it get;\'s buried. There is a radio amplifier
