Hi guys,
My alternator light blinked a couple of times today while at idle. I'm thinking that Voltage Regulator is going out similar to this guy's problem (with the exception of the flickers at startup, just while idling at lights).

Anyhow I wanted to perform the same tests he did at the battery, but I only have the following Sears cheapo multimeter. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=03482141000

I'm assuming that connecting this directly to car battery will blow it since it's only rated for 10 Amps. Am I correct? Does anyone have a meter I can test with?

Further considerations: I replaced spark plugs, cap and rotor, but I don't see how that would cause my alt light to come on. Thanks for your help!
