Don't hold it on for long as, depending on type of meter, you may complete the circuit and have current going through the meter.

As you are checking a small part within a circuit there will be no shorting or problem caused elsewhere
I've tested all the fuses and they all had continuity across them. I checked for wiring diagrams in elsawin but couldn't find anything.

Has anyone got any wiring diagrams associated with the glovebox light wiring?

Something just occurred to me so I went out to my car to check....

You need at least the side lights on before the Glovebox one will work
