Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in three different places:
A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/fuse box in the trunk
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you
will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal
wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses
are stored in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system
inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the car's
electrical system.

When replacing fuses, be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on
the fuse).
