Default No voltage to cigarette lighters.

I've become the owner of a 2012 V70 and found the cigarette lighters have no power for my dash cam and sat nav. I've had a look at the owners hand book but cannot find which fuse to check. Can anyone help please.

Volvo fuses are a bit of an enigma! They're not that well named but best just check through them. You'll have some in the glove box and boot.

Default Fuses

Enigma! Not kidding! I have a V70 p11 2007, and I finally found the best place to find fuses is in the car manual. I too had the issue of camera and sat nav to connect, but permanently live fuses was a surprise!! As a diy'er I eventually found my 3rd bank of fuses (with two that turned off with the ignition so that I could piggy back from) under the dashboard. I guess Volvo are not helping people like me by making it so difficult to connect such equipment at home, just because I want all my wiring buried away! Oh well, good luck.😡

There is a socket for volvo accessories hidden up the side to the left of the clutch pedal taped to the loom.
