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 box is located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by lifting the
cover.
A label on the inside of the 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 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.
