It will give me a reading when I'm in the resistance mode and touch the two probes together - that should be zero.

A high resistance voltmeter will pick up electric fields on the leads and give a reading when nothing is connected. The offset is greater when the meter is set to AC than when set to DC. This is not a fault, all meters behave this way. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
