I'm kind of surprised that no one has suggested that the OP buy an automotive test light instead of pulling the fuses one at a time. She needs to get a variety of fuses so why not get a basic 12vdc trouble shooting tool at the same time.
The plastic fuses have part of the connections on each side of the link exposed exactly for this purpose.
It has been my feeling that many here feel that a test light is too old school and a DMM is absolutely the only way to test electrical circuits, I wholeheartedly disagree. A test light is as valuable and accurate as a DMM for testing fuses. It frees up one hand and you don't have to change from looking at the contact point to the meter and back and forth fuse after fuse. Your peripheral vision will see the light in the handle or when you find the bad fuse the lack of light. It is not rocket science even though failure lights are very common in space craft.
