Sorry to hang you up with my "smoke" warning.
If you connect the multimeter to the elec. system as described, worst case is that the internal meter fuse will blow to protect the electronics.
The warning is to NOT ground a circuit without a load (electric motor, bulb, etc.) in the circuit or to bypass the load circuit path to ground with test wires. Most automotive electrical circuits are protected with fuses; a few circuits on some 911s aren't, but that's just a general precaution when circuit testing. Didn't mean to put the orange alert out there.
