My 52-0060-2 Mastercraft Digital Multimeter will not record Resistance. I accidentally but the two leads across 120 vac while it was set to the Resistance scale.
When set to 2000k ohm it shows all zeros, 200k it shows 00.7 and strike the two leads together it will show 00.0, 20k it shows 0.71 and strike the two leads will show 0.00, 2000 scale shows 722 and goes to 000 when the two leads touch. 200 scale reads 78.3 and drops to 00.3 when the two leads touch. The diode scale reads 297 and drops to 000 when the two leads touch.
All other scales seem to be working OK.
Anyone care to diagnose the possible problem this accident may have caused? and why I would be getting these readings on the Resistance scale?
