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 compart-
ment.
Replacement
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 fails repeatedly then
there is a fault in the component. In which
case, contact an authorised Volvo workshop
to have the system checked.
