    Are you sure it's from Volvo? That doesn't sound right it being mounted by the batteries with the gas vapors generated by the batteries? Plus an invertor has to be in a dry environment.

    But if it is factory, maybe it's wired to stay on all the time while the engine is running. See if the switch works while the truck is shut down.

    If not maybe there is a stuck relay somehwere.

    no sir i was working fine before, it is a dry environment no matter if the truck is off or on is still das the same think i was trying to fix it by myself i have to take it to volvo.the proablem is that their are to expensive and being install by them their are the olny one to work on it.anyway the reasons that i'm asking is that i know that a lots of volvo carry this kind of invertor.

    Volvo had/has a factory mounted inverter option. Mounted somewhat near the batteries external of the cab.

    did you figure out the problem, mine is doing the same thing, it's the remote plug coming out of the inverter box, volvo is replacing mine under warranty
