Default Low voltage lights.

I have a digital multi meter from TLC
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TMM3800.html

I had to change some 12v 35w halogen lamps today & one wouldn't work. I set
the meter to 20v DC & tried to measure the voltage at the porcelain cable
connector. Nothing.

Tried to measure the voltage on the one next to it, which was on at the time
& still got nothing.

Is my multi meter broken or is a digital meter no good for this sort of
thing? If the latter, what do I need to buy?
