So if the fuse is good it will carry the current from one side of

its
socket to the other. What might be happening is that the fuse is

not
connecting properly in the socket. Or that when mechanically

stressed
by insertion into the socket it actually goes open-circuit. I

suggest
you try a new fuse in its place.


Or swap with the good one?


Which may become a bad fuse if there is an overload in that circuit,
same for a nw fuse of course. Is the OP checking the fuses visually?
It is sometimes not visually obvious that a fuse has blown, it needs
an elctrical test really.
