I actually did what you said about the multimeter, but not sure if I was doing it right. I switched the car on to ACC position, so that supposedly the fans would come on. But without the fuse, no air was coming out, I turn the A setting to 10m, it's giving me 36amps.

But when i do the same to the cigarette lighter fuse, again with the fuse unplugged and I stuck the two probes in the fuse socket, it's showing me 1 (i guess infinity it means). Isn't this suppose to give me 15amps or less (rated fuse is 15amps)

So what should be the normal amps if there is no short??

Thanks

You typically have to move the leads to another set of holes when measuring current. 10m for current would be 10 mA, which is very little current, so you are overloading the meter. You should have the meter set to its highest current rating (which is probably only 10A).
