The white fuse adaptor is belt a braces should a fault happen while you are testing, which is unlikely.

It sounds to me as if you haven't set your volt meter to a low enough range. 200mV I think is required.
They can't all be reading zero.

Test/practice on the 20A suspension one.

thought that about putting a socket outside , just thought it easier i can then hide the ctek in doors , ie if i go out with the dogs

didn’t realise at first the ctek short lead i’ve connected to the battery has small lights on it

the zero readings are when i set the meter to ac, for the alternator test

i will recheck the meter ref it’s settings, i did use my other multimeter to double check every small fuses and after the time out everyone showed zero , just in case i need to double check them to ensure they making contact with the meter probes 100% on the small fuses

these are the meters i’m using

Have another play on the small fuses, as I don't think you are doing it correctly.

All the info is from RObbies guide.


I wouldn't worry about the relays, its usually obvious if they are stuck closed, and would cause much more than the drain you have

it certainly wouldn’t hurt that’s for sure to recheck each and every small fuse

maybe before reconnecting the battery again , i could do a continuity test before hand on ever fuse , that way knowing there all working and not blown , as if one did happen to be blown and i didn't release , surely it wouldn’t test 100% when i tried to test for voltage

ur right hi king about it ref the relay and assume something wouldn’t turn off, ie readings threads where compressors done turn off, etc

, will indeed double check them

for the alternator is was AC , amps , wasn’t it to test for any feed back

that’s what i mainly got stuck on, which setting for which test , but is making so much more sense since ur great answers

thks for this , also got a spare pad somewhere , so i can write down findings and then report back to u accurately

I wouldn't bother continuity checking the fuses

no probs
