Volt-Ohm-Milliampere. AKA multimeter aka what you have in hand. You can measure voltage drops across a component or switch to Ohms and chase bad grounds.

My problem is finding one of the two or three that doesn't need more than a battery.

You should be able to get by with a continuity tester. That and a length of wire to extend it's reach.
