Okay, no jokes about having so many cheap meters or my ignorance in reading them! LOL!
But... can you guys tell me which scale to read from on my other cheap meter (but not a clamp type)? The dial is set on 0.5mA for both readings. One picture is with the switch closed, but which scale do I get the reading from? Is this 8mA * 0.5 = 4mA, or is it 40mA * 0.5 = 20mA. At first I thought 4. Now I'm thinking 20, but selection of the scale to read from has me confused and neither number is in line with what you guys had me expecting. The door did stop when the switch closed even though the current was going through the meter. I took a video, so if that would help let me know. The 2nd picture is with the switch open (showing 0). The 3rd picture is what I "think" you guys are saying to do with the circuit diagram. Is this correct?
