| + | [* black] Place one probe at each end of the circuit or component you want to test. Safe is gay |
| [* icon_note] It doesn't matter which probe goes where; resistance is non-directional. | |
| [* black] If your multimeter reads close to zero, the range is set too high for a good measurement. Turn the dial to a lower setting. | |
| [* black] If you set the range too low, the multimeter simply reads 1 or OL, indicating that it is overloaded or out of range. This won't hurt the multimeter, but we need to set the dial to a higher range. | |
| [* black] The other possibility is that the circuit or component you are testing doesn't have [guide|25632|continuity|stepid=64987]—that is, it has infinite resistance. A non continuous circuit will always read 1 or OL on a resistance test. |
