    In my Volvo 670, I was using one of those 2-way 12v adapters in the 12v outlet of the sleeper panel, when it quit working. The same thing happened to the front 12v power outlet on the dash. The only one that's working right now is the outlet on the right side of the sleeper. I checked the fuse in the sleeper panel, which seemed to look ok, like they weren't blown or anything. I'm not sure where to find the fuses for the dash, if there are any. Is there anything I could do to get these outlets working again? Thanks!

    I dont know if its your truck or not as to if you could talk to a company mechanic. but it sounds like either the socket went bad, which is what id bet, they tend to wear out or just get to hot and the solder melts. Other than that your gonna have to start tracing wires if you cant find the fuses, i think they would all be on one fuse but i am not framiliar with the volvos, hope that helped some.

    Hmm, ok. I see what you're saying. I guess what I'd like to know right now is where I could find the fuse box (if there is one) on this thing. The only ones I've looked at were the small fuses in the Webasto panel, but there's only 4 and those are really just for the lights and what-not in the sleeper. Sooooo, I'm guessing there must be some sort of fuse box somewhere here? Anyone with Volvo experience know?

    Yeh Im sure theres others on here with volvos, I do know with the newer petes there is one behind where the glovebox would be, that one has the smaller fuses, then there is on on the firewall by the engine on the passenger side.

    Yeah, this one has those mini-fuses too. I did finally find the fuse panel. It's right up under one of the dash pieces. Turns out it was a fuse that had blown, so I should be good to go now.

    The fuse panel is under the panel on the top of the dash directly above the radio, and jake controls. There are 2 screws behind the slide out cup holders that you have to remove and the the top dash panel will lift up and there is the fuse panel.

    The Volvo's have have a low voltage power shutoff that will start killing power to the outlets when the batteries get low. This might be what's going on also just so you know you may want to have the batteries checked they might b getting weak.

    EDIT: Well I missed your post that said you got it figure out, oh well.
