The test light blinking could be due to the security system being triggered and unless you do the procedure correctly, you are not going to get a correct reading.

You must connect the test light to the negative terminal and cable before disconnecting the terminal in order that power is not disrupted when the security system goes to sleep.

Something else is causing the problem and next to unplug would be the fusible links.
