A: A VOM can measure the voltage across the load. To test the current if the current surpasses the VOM range just add a very small resistor in series with the load and use ohms law to find the current since you have the voltage drop.

How is it possible your power supply is faulty multimeter test says acceptable?

A multimeter draws next to no current, so will not effectively test the power supply under load. The voltage on the meter is averaged out and so will not show ripple current, or spurious dips in the supply. You will need an oscilloscope to check for ripple current (poor smoothing) and the supply needs to be under a load.

How do you check amp reading on a 12volt cooling fan?

To check the amp reading on a 12-volt cooling fan, you'll need a multimeter set to the ammeter function. First, disconnect the power supply to the fan and then connect the multimeter in series with the fan by placing the multimeter leads between the fan's power source and the fan itself. Once the connections are secure, reconnect the power supply and turn on the fan to read the current in amps displayed on the multimeter. Ensure safety precautions are taken to avoid short circuits or damage.
