Simplest test first...

I have an "auto range" multimeter that automatically sets the range ( I can also set it to manual range if I wish).

If you mean from spade to spade...when I try this it starts out with a 0 reading and when I turn on the power switch, the display cycle up through a series of Mohm readings 18...19...then returns to 0. 

Thing is it doesn't to it every time I turn the switch off then back on again and switching to "manual" and testing various ranges give me 0.

If I test from the + spade to chassis I get 0 when "off" and .474 mohm when "on".
 

This does not make sense. What you are telling me is you have a short circuit between the plug terminals whether Off or On.

Yeah. im not sure whats going on there. I thought maybe something was "up with" my meter, but it tests resistors very accurately (when I test new ones out of the package).

And to be accurate. The result is not actually zero, as when I touch the the probes together (0.00). It's going back to the "no read" screen (0.L).

I'm using a salvaged cord from an old computer power-supply (two prong).
