tried to measure voltage between fuse and ground, sparked
Why would it spark at the fuse? I turned the car on, tried to measure voltage between ground on the car near door and the fuse, and it sparked. Iwas just testing that way of testing fuses

Re: tried to measure voltage between fuse and ground, sparked
What are you using to measure voltage? If you're using a multimeter, there are usually different terminals for the leads for voltage and current. To measure current or amps, a mulitmeter usually has a fused closed circuit inside to measure up to a specific amount (10 or 20 maybe, depending on the quality of the meter?). Make sure your leads are in the correct voltage reading terminals and try again. You don't need a closed circuit to measure a voltage potential, so you shouldn't get a spark.
