Check fuse S40-V40

Check the 10 amp fuse (15 amp in newer cars) under the hood for the "vacuum pump". It's probably blown. That's the vacuum pump for your brake booster which is an electric pump and there's a TSB on how Volvo wants it fixed by removing moisture and re-sealing BUT if it's an older, high mileage car, you'll probably need a new vacuum pump. When that pump is inop, you almost have no brakes and it's dangerous IMO.
