Need help to repair two phase 400 amps

Your other probe should be on the other side of the resistor, and I have never seen 2 decimal points on the same reading,,,,,vera strange...

Ok, Yes It kind of didn't help me. What the heck? I pulled the battery and put in a new one. No help. Ok so what would you like me to do next?
 
You mean the top side of the rail? I had to set it like that to take the pic if that is what you meant.
 
You need a pair of these, they are called mini-grabbers. They grip and hold where you hook them. Prevents shorting things out when your probe slips (and it will).

Lee has been doing a great job, stick with him step by step.

What does your meter read with it on the 200 ohm scale and the red and black probes touching each other (should be 0), also what does it read with the red on the same scale with the probes touching nothing (should be out of range or something like that)?

Yep, Lee is a great Guy, I can't believe he is putting up with me! I have my work area all nice and clean and organized, amp is clean and better lighting now. I am going to purchase A good fluke and soldering iron! Just got a check from my pension.! UT OH ! the meter sucks.

Lee, I am going to go today and purchase some decent tools. I will post them later. thanks
 
Hell.... When you get this one going Lee I think I will do a 700.. You don't care to help me do ya ????? :compress::compress::compress:
 
Well I went shopping and did not see anything in my price range for the meter, I am thinking I should get a soldering station? They look pretty cool. Any suggestions Lee on the meter or the station. I may just have to lay down the bucks for the fluke. I like the 115.

Weller WSD80 or 81 with WSP80 soldering pencil is a great general purpose solder station.
 
I have a WES 51 soldering station, fairly reasonable at 115.00
