You've basically described it! A battery, 3 pieces of wire, a bulb (or buzzer). Connect them in series (any order you like). Try the circuit to
ensure bulb or buzzer works, then cut one of the 3 wires and insert your fuse, if it lights/buzzes it's a good un. Next fuse.

Multimeter on continuity setting works for the job.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

It will pay for itself over and over
