why is the ohmeter showing 26 ohms here? there is virtually no path for the current to flow from the black lead to the red lead.

It is not clear to me just where your measurement points are. What is the resistance of a bulb?
 
  • #3
im measuring the resistance btw the 2 black wires, each bulb has a resistance of 26 ohms, also the fuse has a resistance of 0.3 ohms.
 
  • #4
Maybe it is because it is "DEMO".

The ohmmeter is showing 26 ohms because it is measuring the resistance of the circuit. Resistance is a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow through a circuit. Even though there may not be a direct path for current to flow from the black lead to the red lead, there may be other components in the circuit that are contributing to the overall resistance. This could include things like resistors, capacitors, or other devices that impede the flow of current. Therefore, the ohmmeter is accurately measuring the total resistance of the circuit, even if there is no direct path for current to flow between the two leads.
