Fuses and fuseboxes
All electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the vehicle’s electrical system from damage by short-circuiting or overloading.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a higher amperage than that specified to replace a fuse. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to a fire.
If any electrical component or function is not responding, the component may have blown a fuse due to temporary overload. If the same fuse blows repeatedly, there may be a problem with the component. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop to have the components checked.
Location of fuseboxes
The illustration is generic – appearance may vary according to vehicle model.
- Engine compartment
- Under the glove compartment
- Trunk/cargo compartment
Replacing fuses
All electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the vehicle’s electrical system from damage by short-circuiting or overloading.
-
Refer to the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
-
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.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a higher amperage than that specified to replace a fuse. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to a fire. Contact an authorized Volvo workshop for assistance replacing fuses not listed in the Owner’s Manual. If performed incorrectly, significant damage can be caused to the electrical system.

FAQs
The fuse box in a 2019 Volvo XC90 is typically located in the engine compartment, the driver’s side dashboard, and the rear cargo area.
Fuses in the XC90 protect electrical components by interrupting the circuit when an electrical overload or short circuit occurs, preventing damage.
A blown fuse often has a visibly broken or melted filament inside. You can also use a multimeter to check for continuity.
To check and fix a blown fuse, you may need a flashlight, a fuse puller, and replacement fuses of the same amperage rating.
Yes, replacement fuses are typically available at auto parts stores or can be purchased online.
Fuses come in various amperage ratings, indicating the maximum amount of current they can handle before breaking the circuit. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same amperage rating.
Insert the fuse puller over the blown fuse, squeeze the handles together, and gently pull the fuse out of its socket.
It’s not recommended to use a higher amperage fuse, as it can lead to electrical system damage or fires. Always replace with the same amperage fuse.
If a replacement fuse continues to blow, it indicates an underlying electrical problem that should be diagnosed and repaired by a professional mechanic.
After replacing a blown fuse with a new one, the circuit should automatically reset, restoring power to the affected electrical component.
For safety, it’s generally a good practice to disconnect the vehicle’s battery when working with fuses to prevent accidental electrical shorts.
Yes, you can often find a fuse diagram in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or by searching online for an XC90 fuse box diagram specific to your model year.
Common electrical issues can vary, but blown fuses can affect various electrical components. Other issues may include malfunctioning accessories or lighting problems.
To prevent blown fuses, avoid overloading electrical circuits, ensure all accessories are properly connected, and periodically inspect your vehicle’s electrical systems.
If you’re unsure about checking and fixing a blown fuse or if the problem persists, it’s advisable to consult your Volvo dealer or a certified mechanic for professional assistance. Electrical issues can be complex, and safety is paramount when working on your vehicle’s electrical systems.
