Replacing fuses

Replacing fuses

If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has

blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration)

and can be opened by pressing the catches and lifting the cover (Relay/

Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the

electrical components that are connected to each fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the fuse

straight out. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is

broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written

on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in a compartment in the

Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical

system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse,

you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the fuse box.
