When a fuse keeps blowing everytime you replace it that means there is a short circuit along its cable. Check the flasher cables or call a car electrician to do it.

SOURCE: 1992 volvo 240 keeps blowing overdrive fuses

More likely that the solenoid in the transmission is shorted to ground. Has any new electronic equipment been installed recently, like stereo, alarm, etc?

SOURCE: want to replace signal fuse in volvo s40

i have a 98 s40. The fuses can be found internal (under the dashboard near the bonnethandle). Inside it you can find the fuse clamp and extra fuses. These can also be used for the external fusebox under the bonnet.
I have found the fuse that might be broken, but i can't replace it because it has some extra casing. It's for internal lights and the alarm.

The flasher unit will not cause an overload in the circuit.Activate the four way flasher and if the fuse does not trip then it appears there is a short in either the left or right signal circuit when the steering wheel is turned.The position of the steering wheel will determine which side is shorting out if this is the cause

SOURCE: Where is the fuse flasher located in a 1987 Volvo

The flasher for your car is located in the front seating area, center, under dash, mounted in front driver side of console. Now I'm not much of a Volvo person but I am a Ford electronics specialist and I'm taking an educated guess that this is not your problem but I could be wrong. A flasher in most cases will not short and I believe you may be looking at a wiring problem but again it's a Volvo and could be wrong. It's just the concept either Ford or Volvo is the same and I am just going by my experience in auto repair. I believe the one for the turn signals will be the square one. I gave you a picture of what both of them look like. The round one only has 2 terminals as I gave a picture of that as well. I hope this helps you a lttle at least and good luck.

1998 plymouth breeze hazard flasher fuse keeps blowing

check the hazard switch pull the switch and put a volt meter on the connections with wiring connected to switch if it don't respond or just gives you a L.O your switch is bad and shorting out could happen just from being used a lot or something internal broke switch for that shouldn't be all but 50$ or just go to a parts/scrap yard

Fuse keeps blowing out

The parking lights, dash lights, turn signals, and hazard flasher should be 4 different circuits.
So you would need to know exactly what that fuse protects, then look for the short to ground.

I have the same problem and am going to trace wires for shorts-what I am reading is 80% of the time its the flasher module. Keep in mind the emergency flashers will work even though the fuse is blown and flasher module may be faulty. Flasher modules run about $70 on average-so be careful you don't roll the dice on the fix and be out $70. Again-if I cant find visible shorts, I'm replacing the flasher module. Check the internet for discussions on this subject-it is a very common problem with the 03s. Let me know if this was your fix if already repaired. Thanks and/or good luck.

Engine fan fuse blows every few days2001 volvo s40

Fuses are there for a reason, if they keep blowing it stands a chance your fan motor is on the fritz and overloading the fuse so it pops. Make sure the tempreture sensor is working ok and not keeping the fan running when it should be turning off.

Turn signal flasher keeps blowing

This is more than likely caused by a Bad Turn Signal Switch Housing inside the Sterring column. The one that the Handle is attached to and Wraps around the Sterring Shaft on the Inside of the Column.
