first i recommend you get a digital dmm.

needels are only good for seeing changes in voltage & other stuff ect. ect.

but all you should have to do is put it on your lowest "ohm" setting witch could be 200 or 20 whatever. and measure the positive and negative leads. should come up 4 or 2 or whatever your driver is as long as its not fried
