To troubleshoot Harbor Freight Tools part number 40994 (multimeter) if the needle will not deflect during testing:

1. Inspect the multimeter and test leads for damage, especially the insulation and connectors.
2. Check that the test leads are properly connected and not damaged.
3. Ensure the battery is not low.
4. Verify the correct settings, terminals, and range are selected for the test.
5. Check the fuse before testing current.
6. Disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing capacitors, resistance, diodes, or continuity.

If all steps are followed and the needle still does not move, the multimeter may be faulty.
