if you have an OhmMeter (or a multimeter), all you have to do is test for continuity - if the fuse passes electricity, it is good, if the fuse does not pass electricity - it is not good.

So, i would suspect that you have a glorified OhmMeter... short the probes of the tester and see if the light comes on... it should... disengage the probes from each other - the light should extinguish...

same principle applies to the fuses - if the light is on, the fuse is good, if the light is not on, the fuse is not good...
Man your the best! You know everything about X5's, I don't have an ohmmeter exactly I bought the one that looks like a screwdriver with a wire that you connect to ground and you poke on off the metal pieces a fuses has. Should I get an actual fuse tester that pokes both probes on a fuse at the same time?
