Fuses - Volvo V50 2004 Manual

Maintenance and service

Fuses

All electrical functions and components are
protected by number of fuses to protect the
car's electrical system from damage by short-
circuits or overloads.
The fuses are in two different locations in the
car:
• Relay/fuse box in the engine
compartment.
• Relay/fuse box in the passenger
compartment.
Replacement
If an electrical component or function does
not work, it may be because the component's
fuse was temporarily overloaded and blew.
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and look at it from the
side to see if the curved wire is burned
out.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new
fuse of the same colour and amperage.
If the same fuse burns out repeatedly it
means that there is a fault in the component.
Please contact a Volvo workshop to carry out
a check.
