How do I use my multimeter to check for a broken fuse?

nevermind I forgot it had a continuity checker

 

[ElFenix]

check the resistance

Never run a current though anything you're testing resistance on. Why can't you just check the fuse itself?

 

[Howard]

You want to check for a broken fuse so you're going to short it?

the fuse is there to blow, so something else doesn't. Why would you want to short it?
