Great, my ground is not messed up!

I actually did what you said about the multimeter, but not sure if I was doing it right. I switched the car on to ACC position, so that supposedly the fans would come on. But without the fuse, no air was coming out, I turn the A setting to 10m, it's giving me 36amps.

But when i do the same to the cigarette lighter fuse, again with the fuse unplugged and I stuck the two probes in the fuse socket, it's showing me 1 (i guess infinity it means). Isn't this suppose to give me 15amps or less (rated fuse is 15amps)

So what should be the normal amps if there is no short??

Thanks
