I can’t see that measuring the voltage across a fuse will tell you anything (unless it has blown), the voltage drop will be tiny.
It’s the standard method, lots of stuff online about it. There’s enough resistance to identify significant current draw with a tiny voltage drop. The problem I have is that the current draw is now so small that the voltage drop is indeed tiny. And yes, getting a good connection is the key. If I touch one metal bit and then the plastic of the fuse the meter reads more voltage than the values I am looking for!
The problem with removing fuses is that it powers things down and causes the CAN gateway to go a bit nuts and all sorts of things to wake up and start consuming power. So you might save 0.5A by taking out the right fuse but cause another 0.5A consumption by waking something else up.
I have the fuse replacement ammeter, but as said you’d have to replace each one then wait for ten minutes each time for everything to settle down – maybe more. The Bentley TSB says you have to leave the car untouched for 2 hours before you can be sure everything’s gone to sleep.
However, reading up, seems like measuring microvolts is pretty difficult in general, never mind rummaging through a car fusebox with a multimeter.
