FYI - Volvo fuses can be tricky. 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Mon Aug 29 17:58 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I give all my fuses a little rotation about once a year to clean the connection.

Recently, the blinker would buzz loudly when activated, then blink a few times, and then stop. Emergency flashers still worked.

Put in new blinker - still no turn lights.

Fuse #5 looked good, 12.5 V at both ends.

Removed fuse. One end of the metal contact had crumbled, exposing the plastic beneath. Only the edges of the crumbled metal were touching the fuse holder.

New fuse fixed problem.

This was the first fuse I had ever replaced. I'm thinking it's time to replace ALL the fuses in both bricks.
