That is more like the voltage you would read across the battery terminals. Even if something is wrong there still should be no voltage reading when you put the meter in series with the cable and terminal.



Wrong, he's reading a normal reading for that. Though you really shouldn't measure voltage that way it is normal.



Now you got me wondering... so I just went out into a very cold garage and popped the hood on my Dakota. I pulled the neg terminal off the battery and put my meter in series and read 12.3 vdc
Well now I'm surprised. Anyway I also checked curent flow and found that I had .04 ma

I stand corrected on the voltage statement that I made earlier.
