Any other sequence with the probes?
Checked in the trunk, under the foam and found no water, or dampness.
When I try to lock the doors automatically they don't work, but the lights blink.
Any suggestions?
Oh-no! When using a multimeter to measure milliamps never put the probes on both the positive and negative terminals of your battery. That creates a direct short between the terminals, and passes more current through the meter than it can handle. If you did that first, as you said, a fuse inside the multimeter would have blown, and any amperage reading attempt afterward would be zero. You have to take the cover of the multimeter and replace the fuse. BTW, multimeter voltage readings would still work.
