V70: - help with electrics

migrator · Oct 21st, 2018, 17:27

Mrs Mig runs a 54 plate V70. Recently the cigar lighter in the dash has stopped working, along with the power outlet in the rear console. The driver's handbook gives one description of the fuses at the end of the dash and Haynes gives a different list of applications. Haynes gives fuse 13 in the dash as covering the power sockets. The driver's handbook does not even mention the power outputs (unless they are hidden in a 'general' heading. All of the fuses in the dash have been pulled and checked but there was no blown fuse found.

Can any helpful soul point me at the correct fuse so that I can stop the (gentle) nagging here? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the inputs, Simmy.

Haynes does not show four fuse boxes, only three.

My S80 handbook does, however, show four!

My younger son Raymond got his jacket on, gathered a few tools and went out to the V70. He found the fuse box and got fuse 11 out. That was when he found that the box required mini blade fuses. One was found (15 amp) and fitted. The sockets were tested with the satnav cable - it has a green light to show that it is getting power - and all was well with the two sockets. Mrs Mig is now happy again!.

Thanks again.
