Here the entire pcb. Gold band was closet to the lead input or the left side of this pcb. Thanks guys

That would be my guess as well if the resistor is part of the input protection.  Likely a fusible 1k resistor found in many higher end multimeters.

@Captnshacky, is that resistor open in your clamp meter?

You may be correct. I would hate to send this to Amprobe for repair for a simple resistor swap....

Does this look correct? Its a 1k 5%

The one you linked is 1/3 W.  Most fusible resistors in the input protection is 1W or 2W.  I suggest this one as per modemhead's blog

As a test to see if your clamp meter works, and assuming your existing resistor R2C is open (since you didn't answer me earlier), I would just put in a normal 1k resistor to test low voltage measurements like a 1.5V AA cell.  If that works, then order the replacement part.

Will it matter that its 10% and not 5%? Thanks
