Torres Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 no LED light or anything on the amp to see if it's turned on? if not then yeah, put it on DC and check it at the amp. if not, also check all the connections. if it is getting power, put it on AC and check to see if power is coming from the amp.

chrisj Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is the dc setting the one with the straight line or the wavy line, the multimeter I have has ranges from 200m-1000, I'm use to the old test lights in these cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
