I gave up when I decided I didn't know exactly how to do it.
Does your cap have 3 prongs?
Watch out if you charge it because they 'bite' if touched before you discharge it.
David might give us some clues?
Bernie forget the red & black bit. That's for a DC one. AC ones aren't fussy which way. In fact you can charge it up one way & then swap leads & discharge it & then charge up opposite way. Get it? OK, me neither!
To test the capacitor with a multimeter, set the meter to read in the high ohms range, somewhere above 10k and 1m ohms. Touch the meter leads to the corresponding leads on the capacitor, red to positive and black to negative. The meter should start at zero and then moving slowly toward infinity.
