2005 VOLVO V70 Owners Manual

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
Fuses are located in four different places:
1. Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind the plastic cover
3. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the edge of the dashboard
4. Fuse box in the cargo area
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.
pg. 131 Fuses in the engine compartment
Relays/fuses in the engine compartment
When replacing fuses, be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on
the fuse). Fuse amperage is also indicated on the inside of the fuse box cover. Fuses in positions marked X are
replacement fuses.

pg. 135 Replacing bulbs
Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
• Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers vaporize in the heat and will
leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
• The optional Bi -Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should always be disposed of
by an authorized Volvo retailer.
• Certain bulbs not listed here should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
ProCarManuals.com

Replacing bulbs at the front of the vehicle
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced from the engine compartment.
WARNING!
Bi -Xenon headlights (option) - due to the high voltage used by these headlights, these bulbs should only be replaced
by an authorized Volvo service technician.

Location of the bulbs in the headlight housing
*
1. Side marker light
2. Turn signal
3. Low beam headlight/Parking light
4. High beam headlight
Certain models may have a plastic tube that may hinder access to the bulbs. This tube can be broken off and discarded.
*Models with halogen headlights only
pg. 136 Replacing bulbs
ProCarManuals.com

Low beam headlight
Removing the defective bulb:
1. Switch off the headlights and turn the ignition switch to position 0.
2. Remove the plastic cover.
3. Disconnect the wiring connector.
4. Loosen the retaining spring by first moving it to the right and then moving it outward and downward, out of the
way.
5. Pull out the defective bulb.
Installing the new bulb:
1. Insert the new bulb, without touching the glass, with the guide lug upward. The bulb will only seat properly in this
position.
2. Move the retaining spring up and push it slightly to the left until it seats properly.
3. Reconnect the wiring connector.
4. Reinstall the plastic cover.
NOTE: If the vertical aim of your headlights needs to be adjusted for any reason (e.g., towing a trailer for extended
periods), this should be done by an authorized Volvo retailer.
