You set the voltage range to be just above the voltage you expect to read. In this case, we expect to get about 13v, and many VOMs have a (DCV) 20v setting. Set it to that (Might show V with a --- on top which represents DC. ~ represents AC). It doesn't really matter what you set it to, it's just giving you as much detail as the display is capable of showing.
Plug the black lead into "Com" on the VOM, and plug the red lead into DCV
Doesn't matter which terminal on the harness gets which probe. If you get it backwards, the meter will just show a negative value instead of positive. The point is just to read the voltage.
