Fuses

09

General

All electrical functions and components are
fused to protect the car’s electrical system
from damage by short circuiting and over-
loading.

The fuses are in two different locations in the
car:

• Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment

• Relay/fuse box in the passenger

compartment.

Changing

If an electrical component or function does
not work, it may be because the compo-
nent’s fuse was temporarily overloaded and
blew.

– Look in the fuse diagram to locate the

fuse.

– Pull out the fuse and check from the side

to see whether the curved wire has blown.

– If this is the case, replace it with a new

fuse of the same colour and amperage.

Each fuse box has space for several spare
fuses. If the same fuse blows repeatedly it
means that there is a fault in the component.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to
have the system checked.
