Check the dial on that ampmeter, you should be working in milliamps. And you have the door open with the lights on? Flip the micro switch on the door so the car thinks the door is closed before you go through the entire fuse panel - what a terrible place to put the fuses!

Of course, the headlights should not be on. The radio should draw less than 500 milliamps, closer to 20-30. The security system draws some. The glovebox draws a lot if the light doesn't go out.
