How to check a fuse without removing it

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

In this video we see how to check the functionality of a fuse without removing it; the most practical thing is to check it from the blades using a test light, first from the positive side and then from the opposite side to see if there is continuity. However, the test light is not always reliable; if we want to be 100% sure, the best system is to use a multimeter, set to "continuity" mode, so if the two probes short circuit, it emits a sound, so by placing both probes on the positive and negative poles, we hear that there is continuity and therefore the fuse is good; otherwise it would mean that the blade has been interrupted. This operation can be done without removing it from its housing, so without risking to erase some components.
