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
fused to protect your car’s electrical system
from damage by short circuiting and
overloading.

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.

Changing
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, and you should con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop to have it
checked.
