Electrics: - Location of fuel door solenoid fuse please???

xco · Dec 12th, 2019, 21:32

My fuel cover has just done the refuse to open scenario.

I managed to get it open using the emergency manual open method and refuel and I have found and executed a strip and repair (clean and lube) How To on YouTube of the solenoid but this has not cured it.

Before purchasing a new solenoid assembly I need to check the fuse for this item but I cant find on what board it resides .....any help gratefully accepted.

Just check for power and ground at the solenoid. That checks the fuse, logic and wiring in one go.

I believe it doesn't have a separate fuse. Many items at the rear of the car (rear windows, trunk, lights, defrost, etc) are on the REM fuse http://www.volvohowto.com/volvo-xc90...-and-amperage/

Thanks chaps I will check that .
When I re built the solenoid I didn't look at the pin contacts to the motor.
Further research has thrown up that the pins to this have been known to lose contact on V70's and resulting on soldering of the pins rather than push fit being a successful cure.

I should do this on mine too. Got it fixed once with those contacts getting loose from the motor, then went bad again. Next job
