Clamp meter didn't work today. I've hardly used it. Worked a couple weeks ago. dunno.
I'll see if Innova has any customer service worth wasting time with.

jeep's electrics seem to be working more or less to spec. Just going by voltage and voltage drop. Should be OK for now. Some small things to fix, but no rush.

Not that anyone cares. Called Innova and they had no service or a way test the clamp meter.
Then while looking at the meter a connection was made.
The meter responds to current in millivolts. There's two settings. 1mV per amp and 10 mV per amp.
So duh, to see if the clamp meter is working, connect it to the multimeter's voltage setting.
So the clamp meter is fine. Therefore its the multimeter's built in mV to amps converter that doesn't work.
Not that the math is that difficult. I can multiply by 10 :rolleyes: but the meter is starting to get a little flakey so I bought a new one.
Happens to be on sale at Innova's website, shipping included in the price.
Good deal if anyone has been thinking about a low cost, reasonably decent automotive multimeter.
