Parasitic drain and no radio, not sure where to turn.
#12
oops my bad,im one post behind so sorry,
the radio is out.
2MA range
.9 is not 900MA. (max for that range is 1.999Ma or 2.00MA. if 900 tried flow, the meter overranges. for sure.
900 micro amps. that is, and is nothing, its spec. but but...

the meter must be used in place of the fuse.
the meter put across a good fuse,the meter reads, 0 amps, due to a fuse is a short.
remove the dome, fuse. set meter to 200 MA (.2 amps)
put the meter leads BLk and red, one on left fuse, pin and other on , 2nd fuse pin, fuse missing
this turns the meter into a fuse,that also reports, current, this is called a series connection.
if the meter shows, over range the drain is huge.
the meter leads must be inserted in the correct jacks. (cant see yours in the photo sorry)
more later time for dinner
