How to Check Fuses With a Multimeter?

Turn off power to the circuit and remove the fuse

Set the multimeter to continuity mode or the lowest resistance setting

Touch the multimeter probes together to confirm it works

Place one probe on each end of the fuse

Read the meter display

A beep or near-zero resistance means the fuse is good

No beep or infinite resistance means the fuse is blown

Replace the fuse with one of the same rating if it is blown

Reinstall the fuse after testing if it is good
