You have just checked a 1/500-ampere fuse with an  ohmmeter and find it is open. Checking the replacement fuse  shows the replacement fuse is open also. Why would the  replacement fuse indicate open?

1 Answer

Answer :

The ohmmeter causes more than 1/500 ampere through the  fuse when you check the fuse, thus it opens the fuse.
