Maintenance and service
Fuses
Cable routing may vary slightly due to engine variant. However, the components listed are in the same positions.
All electrical functions and components are
fused to protect your car's electrical system
from damage by short circuiting and
overloading.
Fuses are housed in four different locations in
the car:
1. Relay/fuse box in the engine
compartment.
2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment
within the sound barrier on the driver's
side.
3. Fuse box in passenger compartment at
the end face of the dashboard on the
driver's side.
4. Fuse box in cargo area.

Changing
If an electrical component or function does
not work, this may be because the compo-
nent's fuse was temporarily overloaded and
blew.
– Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
– Pull out the fuse and check from the side
to see whether the curved wire has
blown.
– If this is the case, replace it with a new
fuse of the same colour and amperage.
There are a number of spare fuses in the
cover on the end face of the dashboard.
There are also pliers which facilitate the
removal and fitting of fuses.
If the same fuse blows repeatedly, there is a
fault in the component. Contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop to have it checked.
