Fuses – introduction
The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical
components from overloading.
There are relay/fuseboxes located in the
engine compartment, the passenger com-
partment and the cargo area.
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:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is diffi-
cult to remove, a special fuse removal
tool is located on the inside of the
engine compartment fusebox cover.
2. From the side, examine the curved metal
wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the
same color and amperage (written on the
fuse).
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electri-
cal system inspected by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with
higher amperage than those stated on the
following pages. Doing so could seriously
damage or overload the vehicle's electrical
system.
