Tom,

Lol. I just had to do the same with my multimeter -- though I didn't have
the erroneous reading you did! Unfortunately when I just went on my lunch
run the blower fan wouldn't work for a few minutes -- so I'd better take a
look see before we get this foot or more of snow we're supposed to get
tomorrow on Wednesday. And maybe I'll finally put those snow tires on while
I'm at it...
