My DVOM is has a High sampling rate, with a Min max function, so If the readings are below 10A I will catch it, or blow my fuse, we will see Ill get it done soon.

Did you ever get around to this test? This thread is making me nervous about the 55w DDM kit in my Bimmer. They sure do spark bright when turned on...
