just figured it out mate. I was wrong correct measurements are above. I removed one of the microswitches plugs and hooked it to the multimeter and hooked the other alligator clip back to the switch. Makes sense, your measuring the current that runs THROUGH the wires yes? Oh and thats with the wall adaptor plug. I imagine it is alot higher with the battery connected.

exactly

Yah, with the transformers that plug into the wall you can suck too much current thru them which causes them to short out in the windings. if it is rated a 1 amp and you pull 2 amp for too long, goodbye transformer.
