I found this. He doesn’t use a resistor in it which I am thinking is why he doesn’t leave the meter connected constantly. It is the same process though.

Thanks, that is more or less how I do it, though I will first try my Mini Trim digital clamp on amp meter to see if I can measure on the lowest 6-amp scale. If not, I'll switch to my 10-amp Fluke with one cable removed.

Not sure why they would use a resistor either, unless as you say it was for meter protection.

I had a friend reach out to me this morning and offered me a four year-old male German Shepherd that apparently has lost its owner. It’s a very handsome dog, but I don’t think bringing a four year dog with my two dogs the way they are would work.

I'm taking a few hits of ice hash and watching college football pregame on Fox. Hey there's a little rap off. Fat Joe is the rapper's name I think. I'm not really into rap at all. I do like 1992's The Chronic by Dr. Dre. My apartment is clean. Plants are happy. Was offered an apartment in a brownstone in Cambridge. I'll check it out at least. Here I'm on the border of a forest. It's nice. 5 min walk from last trolley stop. Went for my morning 3 mile walk. Mom came over last night and we had ziti and meatballs and tiramisu 👍
I switched to Grizzly pouches, last me 2 days. I miss the nicotine from snuff but the Stinkdans just can't seem to get it. Lots of food in the fridge. Might have ziti and meatballs for lunch. Hope everyone is doing good!

He is a handsome pup! I think you're right about the three adult male concern.

It could be an old or cheap meter maybe since most meters have the 10 A input. I liked in the video where he used the engine compartment light to do a sanity check. Hopefully you are successful in finding the issue. I know on my Tacoma, I had an issue with the battery running down and found a thread where a relay was known to go bad and it would constantly switch on and off. I forget which relay it was but replacing it fixed the drain issue.
