Or yes you can voltage test both sides by using a common ground on the kick panel. Touch your + to both sides of the fuse test points and verify voltage on both sides not just one.

Most volt meters have a continuity test setting. If you touch your leads on the fuse where the metal access slots are on the head of it and it's good the volt meter will sound off with a buzz or whinny sound. If no sound when touching the test points on the fuse it's bad.
