On the return trip from a Volvo club meeting, I found that the indicator control light wasn't working and I fiddled the wiring under the dashboard to make it work again, however I must have caused a short circuit because all panel lights, overdrive, etc ceased work. I found the little 25 Amp fuse in top of the fuse board had blown. NO spare of course for this unusual fuse, so I made one up using another a fuse link with the original holder which worked very well (photo on my web site).

When home, in my efforts to make the Amazon more reliable I modified the top right contact in the fuse box to take the standard type of 25A fuse by bending the contact out and drilling a new hole in place to fix the fuse in position. This works really well and takes only a few minutes to do. I recommend you do it now before it happens to you on a rainy, cold day.
