Can a multi-meter be used to test the fuse?

Yes. You would look for resistance using the ohm meter function. A good fuse would show 0 resistance, or something close to 0. A blown one would show infinite resistance.

Also, check this article out: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-a-car-fuse-works. Look at the picture under step 7.

Let us know what you find.
