FUSES
Fuses – introduction
The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical
components from overloading.
There are relay/fuseboxes located in the engine
compartment, the passenger compartment 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 difficult
to remove, a special fuse removal tool is
located on the inside of the engine com-
partment 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 electrical
system inspected by a trained and qualified 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.
