Hi guys need your help on this one
Been using my D quite a bit with no real problems - always had a problem with headlights - no matter how many times you push the light switch in I only get dipped lights and main beam off the indicator stalk so basically no side lights !
Went out last Sunday ( day light ) came back in the dark - within 10 mins there was a burning smell in the car and a bit of smoke then I lost dipped lights so drove a bit further on main beam - smell and smoke coming from behind passenger seat - pulled in to take a look and a hole had burnt through carpet and an in-line fuse holder and fuse had melted - I have tried to show some pics of the wires and the fuse box - I seem to remember reading something about the fuse box melting and a wiring mod - as you can see from the pics my fuse box has 2 missing fuses and damage where they should be - I’m pretty sure this damage was done before I bought the car and the PO has done some sort of mod - wondering if it was just the cover on the inline fuse come off and the fuse shorted against something ? I must also point out the rear lights - side marker lights and front amber lights all work fine - I have booked car in with my old school Volvo guy next week so any info would be most appreciated- I have a workshop manual ( cheap reprint - photo copy ) with a shite wiring diagram - any more details on the mod or more info on what could be the problem would be a great help for my Volvo guy
