Maybe yes, maybe no. Depends on the internal wiring of the meter. If the (-)
lead is tied to the case ground, then reversing the connections will produce
a dead short from (+) to (-). Without knowing the meter involved, I can't say
for sure. Before making the connections as you say, make sure the case and/or
the ground lead are isolated from the (-) lead.
