I suspect the o/p's vision was for something MUCH smaller, and vehicle atteries
don't fit most ppl's toolbox.

A simple oscillator + driver transistor pumping a step-up transformer should do
the job - no rocket science.  After all, the application is really a go/nogo
situation, to indicate that the multimeter ain't dead.  Actual output voltage
and frequency are far from critical.
