right, not sure it was the most accurate way to do it, ie, my probes aren'y the smallest, so i fixed a scalpel blade to the probe to get at the side next to the chassis, it may have affected the reading, but i'm getting a 9.5 to 10.1 ohm across the fuse.
The one next to the chassis is unimportant -- it is the same as just touching the top of the fuse. The side furthest from the chassis is the trickier one to get at, but not bad.
