Checking and Replacing Fuses
The fuses help protect the vehicle’s electrical components from overloading. If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it.
To do so:
- Switch off the headlights, the ignition, and all electrical consumers.
- Open the appropriate fuse box.
- See diagrams below for details about which fuse to check.
- Pull the fuse straight out.
- If the wire inside the fuse is broken, insert a new fuse of the same amperage (written on the fuse).
- Replace the cover.
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Notice
- Never use metal objects or fuses with a higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could seriously damage or overload the vehicle’s electrical system.
- Never repair fuses.
