yes the fuse blows every time after about half a second, but it does flash those readings.

the max setting with the 315mA fuse is 200mA. there is no higher one maybe i shouldn't buy these at the dollar store... maybe i could use the 10A unfused setting. I only kind of half know what I'm doing so 'unfused' is enough to put me right off, whether it's me or the car I'm going to hurt I just don't like the 'unfused' idea...

I want to rule out the alternator first because if it turns out to be suspect I don't have to piss around with fuses and finding a decent DMM.
Ughhh I hope winter comes late this year...
