2001 V40 Keeps Blowing Engine Fuse
 

Hello,

I just bought a 2001 V40 1.9T. It was running great then one day turning into a parking lot the engine just cut out. I tried to restart the engine and it wouldnt even turn over. Completely dead.

Had it towed to a local volvo mechanic who said fuse 11 blew (blue 20A Engine fuse). Replaced the fuse and it started right up.

About two weeks after it died again same symptoms when I was taking a corner.

Last night i turned it on to come home. reversed out of a parking space and it just cut out. Tried to turn it re-start it... Completely dead. I had a spare fuse so I replace it. Try to restart it and it doesnt even turn over. Check the fuse and its blown as well.

I put a 30A pink fuse in the same slot and it blew that fuse as well.

I notice that the fuse blows right when you turn the key and you hear the fuel pump... before you even turn over. You can hear it runs for like a second then cuts out. Usually you can hear it for a few seconds. When you turn the key off and back on you dont hear the fuel pump at all.


Any ideas what would cause this?!?!

Thanks in advance!

you ever fix it?

It ended up being a wiring harness shorting on the frame somewhere.
