One thing I notices is I had identified each wire on one end but not
the other.


One would hope that next time you'll think about that.

This may sound stupid, but I attached a 12 volt 2 amp car
battery charger on one end and went to the other unlabeled end with a
volt meter. I found each wire but my meter only said about 8 volts.


That would be about the average DC value of the unfiltered, full-wave
rectified waveform. (a bit low, but in the realm...)

Also, on the other wires that were not connected to my charger my volt
meter fluctuated between 0 and .01 volts. Is that normal?


High input-resistance meter, antenna effect on the open leads... yeah,
normal.



I first tried testign with a lan tester or whatever it is *called. You
put a sendor on one end and take a proble and touch the wire on the
other end. The problem with this is all the wires made it beep. If the
ones not attached to the transmitter. What would cause that?


Crosstalk coupled (hah!) with a complete misunderstanding of how to use
the toner set.

I followed the directions. How was I supposed to use it?
