Yeah, that pic just looked really odd for a second before I realized how he was testing it. It's been too long since I've taken those electronics classes.

So, please refresh me, because I seem to remember you needed to check against the ground wire -- and he seems to be checking on only the +12V and using the multimeter as the "connection wire" which would seem to imply that its adding the multimeter's own resistance into the circuit and giving a false high reading.

I dunno. I'm sure I'm wrong. Any EE guys out here want to explain it to me?
