General
Cable routing may vary slightly due to engine variant. However, the components listed are in the same positions.
All electrical functions and components are
protected with a number of fuses to protect
your car's electrical system from damage by
short-circuits or overloads.
Fuses are housed in four different locations
in the car:
1. Relay/fuse box in the engine compart-
ment.
2. Fuse box in the passenger compart-
ment within the sound barrier on the
driver's side.

3. Fuse box in the passenger compart-
ment at dashboard end on driver's
side.
4. Fuse box in cargo area.
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 cov-
er on the end 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.
