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.
