I have a 2003 S60. Has been back to Volvo 5 times because of blowing fuses
when i charge my cell phone. They have replaced fuses and changed the wire
harness without any success. HELP. Anybody have any suggestions.
I suspected that the front cigarette lighter socket was faulty on
mine, it would short out and blow the fuse. Visually it looked perfect
but after taking the centre console out and isolating it from the loom
to test, it was indeed the socket that was shorting.
Of course, intermittent problems magic themselves away on dealer
forecourts and I wasn't about to mention that I'd already had the
console apart and diagnosed the problem whilst I still had the
manufacturer's warranty. It took several attempts to get them to
replace the socket (the trick is to make them think that it's their
idea somehow) but it's fine now.
Good luck.
