Julie & Critters,
If a fuse is indeed the problem you may still be able to
measure current on the higher range. The Fluke DMM's that I own
have two separate ranges and each is protected by a separate fuse.
The .630 mA fuse for the lowest scale and a 10 A fuse for the higher
current scale. So it is not unusual for one range to function and
the other not.
Regards,
George Martin

and other
