Just confirmed as in Megaohm* range, it just about reads .001. I am very rusty when it comes to meter use obviously. If someone had got me to try this* I would have got here sooner, Thanks to all who answered.
ah, so despite the "ohm" symbol in the resistance sector, the reading could be in kilo ohms or ohms, depending on selection. So my "1 ohm" is actually 1000 ohms?
Thank you for the reply but I don't understand the request for a photo? - on the 200k range I can read to 3 decimal places, on the 20k range, 2 dec. places and on the 2k range, 1 dec. place. On all 3 scales, the result is similar, and the resultant measured figure is in OHMS.

I've determined that this is a thermistor, of the NTC type, the only thing I haven't done is obtained resistance readings at lower temperatures, which I might try today. With the four readings now fairly similar, and knowing that 3 are definitely working - apart from a faulty or wrong type of...
Thank you jrmichler, that is helpful. I have 3 other units that I will go and measure now and publish the readings. The reason I hesitate to think that the described reading is incorrect (apart from it being new) is that the resistance values measured throughout it's temperature range are...
I've just joined the Forum and not sure if I'm in the right section (or possibly Forum even).
The 12 volt thermistor in question is extremely common and is fitted to many makes of car and motorbike. They do fail from time to time however and so I set about determining if one is functioning...
Well that’s told me hasn’t it? I have to say G Max, that I’m a little confused already, was that a welcome post? It seemed more like a thinly veiled dig/slap on the wrist ! You talked about humour in the lounge and my reference to “90% “was meant in humour. I’ve only just arrived for...
Hi
I have not been on this Forum until today so haven't "learnt the ropes" and have no expectations but i'll just dive in and have a browse. I just hope that 90% of your lounge isn't filled with C*V*D Discussions. I'm sure I must have some unique physics-related input, and hopefully it will...
