Where is the fuel pump fuse located in the Volvo V60?

[GabrielaLynn]

Volvo V60 fuel pump fuse is located in the fuse box under the steering wheel in the cabin. The fuel pump relay is blue (only one is blue, making it easy to identify). A fuse, also known as a current fuse, is defined as a fuse link by the IEC127 standard, primarily serving an overload protection function. The Volvo V60 is a 5-door, 5-seat station wagon with dimensions of 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1437mm in height, a wheelbase of 2872mm, front-wheel drive configuration, front suspension using a double-wishbone independent suspension, and rear suspension employing a multi-link independent suspension.

I've worked on quite a few Volvo V60s. The fuel pump fuse is located under the front passenger seat. If you crouch down, you'll see a black plastic cover. Pry it open and there's a card on the back with corresponding fuse numbers. The fuel pump fuse is usually No.15 or No.30 (depending on the year), and you can replace it with needle-nose pliers. But be aware that newer V60 models use electric fuel pumps - if the fuse blows, the dashboard will immediately display a fault code. Before replacing, it's best to check the fuel pump connector for burn marks. If you're doing it yourself, remember to remove the key and cut power first. Last time, an owner directly pulled the fuse and caused arcing at the contacts, which ended up burning out the relay too.

We specifically noted this when tuning the V60 data in our garage: the fuel pump fuse is located under the front passenger seat, specifically inside the side panel of the dashboard. Pry open the plastic cover with serrated texture, and the third blue 15A fuse on the outer side is the one. For older models, it might be in the engine compartment fuse box—check the black square box near the windshield. If you bought a B5 hybrid after 2017, there's also a small fuse box on the right side of the trunk that needs checking. It’s safer to take a photo and note the position before working on it—Volvo fuse boxes are packed tightly like Lego. By the way, here’s a tip: if the issue persists after replacing the fuse, it might be a problem with the main relay, and you’ll need to connect a computer to test the fuel pump signal wire.

The owner's manual clearly states on page 182: The V60 fuel pump fuse is located in position F of the cabin fuse box. However, many people get confused when flipping through the manual. Let me teach you how to find it: There's a cover with push-clip fasteners above the passenger footwell. Press both clips simultaneously to remove it. Look for the 15A blue fuse labeled 'FUEL PUMP' or marked with an oil can icon. If it's blown, don't rush to replace it - it's best to check the resistance with a multimeter first. Our car club statistics show that 2013-2016 models are prone to fuel pump overload and fuse burnout due to loose fuel caps. After replacement, remember to check for gasoline smell in the trunk during subsequent drives.

Just checked the Volvo maintenance system, the V60 fuel pump fuse has two layouts. Before the 2021 facelift, it was located on the side of the instrument panel. You need to stick your head into the passenger footwell and look up to find a cover with a lightning symbol. The innermost position is marked with the number F46. After the facelift, it was moved to the side of the driver's pedal, requiring the removal of the triangular cover on the left side of the steering wheel. Regardless of the layout, it's recommended to prepare an LED test pen to check the power supply of the empty slot before replacement. Last year, there was a V60 that had its fuse replaced three times, only to find out it was caused by a short circuit from chewed wiring under the rear seat by a pet.

We encounter this issue daily at our modification shop: Remove the door seal on the passenger side, and about 30 cm down the A-pillar, you'll find a palm-sized fuse box cover. The fuel pump fuse is usually the second blue 15A one in the lower right corner (older models use a green 25A). It's best to wear insulated gloves when working, as the airbag controller wiring is right next to it. If the fuse keeps blowing, it could be due to fuel pump overload or a clogged fuel filter—we've seen cases where poor-quality gasoline doubled the fuel pump's resistance. Those who've upgraded their audio systems should be extra cautious, as grounding the amplifier wiring harness can also blow this fuse.
