Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

In a car, it is possible to test the functioning of a fuse using a multimeter: you will need to open the corresponding fuse box to access the fuses inside. Here, you should take the two probes connected to the multimeter and point one at the positive terminal and the other at the negative terminal: if the instrument indicates that current is flowing, it means that the fuse in question is functioning.
