For all of you who have a multimeter thrown in a drawer or toolbox but don’t know how to use it, these instructions will help in your search for missing voltage.

Testing a car battery with a multimeter is a simple and effective way to determine its health and performance. In this video, the process of testing both the voltage and cold cranking amps (CCA) of ...

Switch the multimeter to measure resistance at its lowest setting, and test across the fuse. A reading of OL, or significantly higher than 20 ohms, suggests the fuse is blown.

If all appears to work properly, use a multimeter to test the switches for continuity. With the multimeter set on Rx1, touch the probes to the switch terminals. The reading should be at or near zero.
