Fuses and central electrical units
Electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the car's electrical system from damage by short circuiting or overloading.
Warning
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an amperage higher than that specified when replacing a fuse. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to fire.
If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be because the component's fuse was overloaded and has blown. If the same fuse blows repeatedly then there is a fault in a component. Volvo recommends contacting an authorised Volvo workshop for checking.
