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.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
