I saw the meter maybe a little differently but I anticipated something less than 200Ma. First hook everything up! Battery positive stays connected. Put the black in the COM port and the RED in the RH port, turn the meter to 200m at 3 o'clock. Let the car "rest". Remove the negative cable and put the meter between negative cable and the negative post. What have you now? I believe the meter will put "decimal" in the correct location.

Using the 10A left port you would put the meter at 1 click past 3 o'clock, we'll call it 3:30. What does the meter read using those? Maybe it is wise to maybe do a 10A first.

You unhooked the headlamp control module on the left front wheel liner?

You bought a couple fuses?
