No, your live (brown) cable takes the load and pulls the amps from the supply, not the neutral. Your ammeter should be clipped on the live to get a correct reading.
The Active wire is always either Red (in a 3 core Red, Black and Green cable) or Brown (in a 3 core Brown, Blue and Green/Yellow cable). You can also be electrocuted by the neutral (Black or Blue) wire if the active is still supplying current through a device. The only truly safe way to handle mains wiring is to completely isolate the circuit at the fuse board.
Europe follows the IEC colour code that was adopted also by the UK in 2004: Single-phase: Earth: yellow and green, Neutral: blue, Live: brown. Three-phase: Earth: yellow and green, Neutral: blue, Live: brown, black, grey. In some cables the Earth wire is bare copper which should be fitted with yellow and green sleeving at its terminations.
The earth wire, striped green and yellow, is connected to the terminal marked E; this should be the longest of the three wires so that it is the last to become detached if the cable is strained.The live wire (brown) is connected to the terminal marked L.The neutral wire (blue) is connected to the terminal marked N.
In a properly balanced three phase system, there is negligible current on neutral. If there is substantial current on neutral, then the system is not balanced and/or something is wrong.
All depends on what country you are in, wiring standards and cable type. Industrial cable in the UK is. :- Red = Live Black = Neutral Copper wire = earth. (add Green/Yellow striped sleeve at junctions.) Domestic is:- Brown = Live Blue = neutral Green/yellow stripe = Earth Europe Black = Live Blue = Neutral Brown = Earth

In a flexible cable, the brown is the "line" voltage and blue is "neutral", often tied to ground at the mains panel. In fixed cables, i.e., "behind the walls", the UK wiring standard changed in 2004, where it now MATCHES the flexible cable: brown is line, blue is neutral. Prior to that, blue, red or yellow were acceptable LINE conductor colors and black was neutral.
For 3 phase, L1 is red; L2 is yellow; L3 is green; Neutral is blue; Earth is yellow&green. For single phase, L is red or brown; Neutral is black or blue; Earth is yellow&green.
its called a neutral safety switch. its located on the transmission wher the shift cable connects, see wiring connector where shift cable is connected,that is your neutral safety switch (park-neutral) Cheers!!!!!
This could be a USA-coded cable. If so then black is Live, white is Neutraland green is Earth.No, this cable cannot be used in the UK.In the UK:Protective earth (PE or E) - Green with Yellow stripes (in older wiring just Green) Neutral (N) - Blue [in pre-2004 fixed wiring Black]Live or Line (if single phase) L - Brown [in pre-2004 fixed wiring Red]Lives or Lines (if 3 phase)L1 - Brown, L2 - Black, L3 - Grey[in pre-2004 fixed wiring: L1 - Red, L2 - Yellow, L3 - Blue]Where the pre-2004 and post-2004 colours are both in use, take greatcare to ensure that all conductors are correctly identified.

The colours will be, black, white and a bare copper ground.
A single core cable means it has one wire going through the outer casing.Like a 3 pin plug has 2 or 3 which are (blue)-Neutral,(Brown)-Live and maybe (Green/Yellow)-Earth which would be 2 or 3 core.
Sure. Disconnect the shifter linkage/cable and set it to neutral by moving the shift lever to neutral by hand.
It has a "transmission range sensor" which also functions as a neutral safety swich; it is located on transmission where the gear selector cable attaches (cable attaches to range sensor).
