Sounds like dirty contacts in your meter. Always touch the probes together at each setting to check for continuity.

Hi all.

I'm measuring continuity to track down where I connected a + wire. With battery DISconnected, digital meter @ 200 Ohm range, no continuity seen (displays a 1). At 2000 Ohms (diode test setting): ~ 1700 Ohms. As I increase Ohm range, the decimal point moves, then at 20M Ohm range, I see 0.00.

At the highest range, am I seeing a false reading for continuity?

Thanks, Neil
