Spent a whole morning in a crawl space trying to find a neutral before I realized my meter was set to AC current, not voltage.

My apprentice just looked at me and said, 'Boss, why is it reading 0.2?' Ever feel like your own tools are playing a trick on you?

Your apprentice asking "why is it reading 0.2" is the universe politely calling you an idiot.

Honestly, check the range first like elizabethblack said, it saves you from looking silly later.

Been there, Spencer_Sanchez67. I always tell my new guys to check the meter's range before they panic about a weird reading.
