B&D, I recently learned a valuable lesson on the multi meter use.
Trying to find a suspected battery drain on a late model Harley dresser with a LOT of aftermarket electronics!
Connect the battery cable, get a spark with everything off... Battery drain!
Connect a test light in series, glows full bright... Battery drain!
Try reconnecting battery cable and holding the test light in circuit when disconnecting the cable (test light used for completing a latch circuit), still showing... Battery drain!
Finally, I wanted to measure the drain so I could contact the supplier of the suspected accessories. Connected the multimeter in series with the disconnected battery cable and the battery post, set on a 2 amp setting. The meter pegged! Battery drain!
But as I was standing there looking at it, the drain slowly came down, all the way to zero! No battery drain!!!
"Something" had to charge up, and it took more amperage than the test light could supply. Fought that thing all day, turned out to be the battery.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
