Replacing fuses
An overloaded fuse needs to be replaced to restore function to the electrical component it protects.
- Locate the correct fuse in the fuse diagrams for the different fuse boxes.
- Pull out the fuse and examine it from the side to determine if the curved metal wire in the fuse is intact.
- If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same color and amperage.
Some fuse boxes contain special pliers to make it easier to grip the fuse.Note
Warning
Never replace a fuse with a foreign object or a fuse with higher amperage. This could damage the electrical system and lead to fire.
Contact an authorized Volvo workshop for assistance replacing fuses not described in the Owner's Manual.
