Additional fuses in cargo compartment (XC90 Executive*) If an electrical component fails to function, itis possible that a fuse has blown. The fuse boxes are located in four different places, see the illustration above. A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical componentsthat are connected to each fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuseis difficult to remove, you will find a specialfuse removal tool (and several extra fuses) in the passenger compartment fuse box on thedriver's end of dashboard. From the side,examine the curved metal wire (see the illus-tration) to see if it is broken. If so, put in anew fuse of the
same color and amperage
(written on the fuse). Spare fuses are storedin the fuse box in the engine compartmentand the passenger compartment. If fusesburn out repeatedly, have the electrical sys-tem inspected by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
