About the amps reading: you don't actually need it so long as you've got the resistance and voltage. When you say the amps setting is not working, you're breaking the circuit and wiring the meter up in series right? Voltage can be measured between two points, but current has to be measured through the meter.
Sorry if thats a dumb question, but I've seen experienced people stare at a DMM wondering why the current reading isn't working without realizing they've still got the probes in parallel with a componet and not in series with it.

LOL, you got me on the amp one. Definatly what I am doing wrong there. I will try it the right way tomorrow.
