Just realized my continuity tester was lying to me for weeks
I was chasing a ghost fault on a 737 NG's VOR receiver in hangar 4 at DFW last Tuesday. Kept getting intermittent readings, swapped three antenna cables before I checked my Fluke 117 against a known good circuit. Turns out the internal fuse was cracked, giving me false opens half the time. Has anyone else had a tool go bad in a way that made you second-guess everything?

Man, I gotta respectfully disagree here. Cracked fuses are super rare and your Fluke is built like a tank, so odds are the fault was actually in the plane not your meter.
