Fuses
All electrical functions and components are fused to protect the car's
electrical system from damage by short circuiting and overloading.
The fuses are in two different locations in the car:
• Relay/Fuse box in the engine compartment.
• Relay/fuse box in the passenger compartment.
Changing
If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be
because the component'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.
Each fuse box has space for several spare fuses. If the same fuse
blows repeatedly it means that there is a fault in the component.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the system checked.
Relay/fuse box in the engine compartment
The fuse box has 36 fuse positions. Be sure to replace a blown fuse
with a new fuse of the same colour and amperage.
• 19—36 are of the "Mini Fuse" type.
• Fuses 7—18 are of the "JCASE" type and should be replaced by
an authorised Volvo workshop.
• Fuses 1—6 are of the "Midi Fuse" type and may only be replaced
by an authorised Volvo workshop.
On the inside of the cover are tweezers to assist removing and fitting
fuses.
