How do you test car fuses with a multimeter?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

In order to test the fuses installed on any car using a multimeter, it will be necessary to open the corresponding fuse box to access the fuses to be tested. Here you will need to take the two probes connected to the multimeter and point one on the positive pole of the fuse and one on the negative pole: if the instrument shows that current is passing, it means that the fuse in question is working correctly. If, on the other hand, it shows that no current is passing, it means that the fuse in question is blown and will need to be replaced with one of the same amperage.
