How To Use A Multimeter To Test Continuity?

Turn off power to the circuit

Set the multimeter to continuity mode

Plug the black probe into COM

Plug the red probe into V/Ω

Touch the probe tips together to verify the meter beeps or shows near zero resistance

Place the probes on the two points you want to test

Listen for a beep or check for a very low resistance reading

If there is no beep or the reading is open or very high, the circuit is not continuous

Remove the probes after testing

Turn the multimeter off when finished
