[ECE Misho]

hello,

as stated in the title, i have fluke 115 and it can't measures amperes ( showes 0.000) always. 

is it need fuse replacement? or something else?
(i removed the fuse and the same happening)


thanks in advance~

Most likely cause is a blown fuse.

To check, put your meter on ohms measurement, and using only ONE probe plugged in to the red V socket, stick the end of the probe into the A socket.  You should get a very low reading, much less than an ohm.  If the fuse is blown, you will get an infinite reading, the same whether your probe tip is touching the A socket or not.

An alternative is to remove the fuse and use both the black and red probes to check it for continuity in the normal way.  Again, you'll get a very low reading if it's good, infinite resistance if it's blown.

Remember to get a genuine fluke fuse, not from eBay, preferably from Fluke or an authorized distributor or somewhere like Digi-Key.
