Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the
engine compartment and the passenger
compartment.
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
difficult to remove, special fuse removal
tools are located on the inside of the fuse
box covers.
2. From the side, examine the curved metal
wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
3. 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
electrical system inspected by an authorized
Volvo retailer.
