How do you check a fuse on an old car?
Testing a fuse can be done with either a multimeter (shown above) or a simple test light. If using a multimeter, set the dial on Ohms. Touch the red lead on one metal end of the fuse and touch the black lead point on the other metal end of the fuse. If the fuse is fine, the multimeter will show a resistance reading.
Can you check a fuse with a multimeter?
