I guess you could say the the test occurs at the cable attachment points, not on the cables themselves. The meter will probably be hunting for reading when you touch the test leads. When you try and crank with the starter button the reading will stabilize and that's the reading we want. If it keeps hunting then we know that even though you asked the starter to do some work, it's not, and the problem lies in the control circuit that makes the starter work and not the power side. If we do get a reading then it'll be high and close to system voltage, otherwise the engine will have cranked.
I don't remember if you said that you hear the fuel pump run when the key is turned on.
