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 the engine compartment (see illustration)
and can be opened by pressing the catches and lifting the cover (Relay/
Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).
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. 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 a compartment in the
Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse,
you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the fuse box.

WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the
following pages. Doing so could overload the car's electrical system.
