Replacing fuses

There are relay/fuse boxes located in the
engine compartment and the passenger com-
partment.
If an electrical component fails to function, this
may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way
to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it.
To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult

to remove, special fuse removal tools are
located on the inside of the fuse box cov-
ers.

2. From the side, examine the curved metal

wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.

3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of

the

same color and amperage (written on

the fuse).

If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.

WARNING

Never use metal objects or fuses with higher

amperage than those stated on the follow-

ing pages. Doing so could seriously damage

or overload the vehicle's electrical system.
