according to this website: http://www.vlvworld.com/indexframe.html?VolvoRepairManual/200_0_3.htm

fuse slot #5 requires a 16amp fuse and #13 requires an 8amp fuse.

HOWEVER

the fuse cover in my car says that fuse slot #5 requires an 8amp fuse and #13 requires a 16amp fuse. I am currently going with what my fuse cover says. but I am still confuse about this discrepancy.

btw, seeing that the color pic in the website shows the plastic or ceramic color-coded fuses with WHITE=8, RED=16, and BLUE=25, anyone notice that fuse slot #14 has a blue fuse?

is there any difference between a 25amp fuse with copper metal and another 25amp fuse with silver metal?

I asked this already, but forgot to add in one more question to it. quick summary: had a 25amp in slot #10 (power windows) when there should have been a 16amp fuse. short-circuited occurred when one of the switches' two ball bearings touched. fuse #10 blew. replaced fuse with proper 16amp fuse in slot #10. all is well; the brown wire connected to slot #10 looks fine. could this short with the wrong fuse (in this case a 25amp) damage or affect any other electrical components or relays not linked to fuse #10?

thank all!
