I got my headliner redone. They did a nice job. No more drooping.

BUT

I got the car back, and noticed no dome light, and worse yet no central locking and unlocking thru the remote.

I looked at the fuse box listing of fuse numbers / functions, and it looks like both functions I lost (dome light, and central locking, and some others) are on fuse 27.

I looked quickly into the fuse box, but do not see numbers on the fuses. (It was raining heavily today, so I did not look too hard as water kept dripping down onto the engine compartment)

Does anyone have a front fuse box diagram for a '96 C 280 ?? Need to hunt down the fuse location... thanks in advance

In the light of day, and with no rain, I found the burnt-out fuse and replaced it. Now central locking and dome light function again... and the new headliner sure is nice !
I am pretty angry however that the owners manual had no fuse box map or fuse chart to tell which fuse handles which functions. Even back in 1996, seems they wanted you to head into the dealer !~
In the fuse box, the numbers are embossed and fairly legible, and the box cover has a chart of fuse number versus function.

Fuse 27 controls dome light and central locking.

makes you realize how much we have come to depend on certain amenities.

I am having similar issues with a recently purchased 2000 C280. I am experiencing sporadic non-functioning of the seat adjusters and the SRS light comes on for no reason.

Thought that this weekend I would take a look into the fuse box (es?) and see if I see any slight corrosion on any of the fuses as I have seen this before on older (70s & 80S Volvos.

Any other suggestions? Thankx in advance.
