Where is it and what does it look like????? THANKS!!!

 

It is usually on the passenger side under the dash by the firewall. It will be a white or brown relay with 6 wires. The really old cars had it on the drivers side.

 

There are 2 identical ones that are silver???

 

no, inside the car pull back rug inside carlook above passengers right foot. big relay

 

It is indeed mounted on the firewall just above the passengers feet on the '84 they moved it there from the drivers side in '83. It should be white. If you pull back the carpet and get under there you should see it. It is pretty big as far as relays go (About 1" x 2" x 2"). It is just mounted to the firewall with a little metal clip so it takes about 1/2 a second to remove.

 

All I see are two smaller relays about 1" cubed that are silver. No large relay or anything else under there but the main computer?????????

 

I replaced both of the relays with new ones from Carquest (white in color). The fuel pump still wont come on. If I jumper the first relay it comes right on. Any more ideas????? Please Help!!!!!

 

Back track to the fuse box. When you turn the key on it should come on for a few seconds then go off. If it does that and doesn't come back on when you crank it then look at the dist. pick up.

 

I can feelone of the relaysclick when I turn on the ignition but it dosentstart the pump.
I put in an old relay and jumpered across it and it fired right up.
Question - "then look at the dist. pick up" What is this?

 

The car should have a hall affect switch in the dist that sends a signal when you crank the car. That makes the fuel pump come back on.

But if the pump doesn't prime for a few seconds when you turn the key on you may have another problem.

 

What would the other problem be? The pump is not priming.

 

Also do these have a fuel cut off switch for an accident situation? It seems to me the in the past when I jacked the car up forservice reason it has had trouble starting after.

 

Might be a wiring problem if it doesn't prime.
When you turn the key on it should prime for a few seconds.

 

Why do I have 2 relays under the passenger side that are the same?

 

Not sure can you take a pic and post?

 

Hey, did you have any luck finding witch one the fuel pump relay was? cause i’m having the same problem as you and dont know witch one is witch

 

what year/model ? on most of these cars (1985+), the fuel system relay is a fairly large rectangular white one, the good ones say K or KAE or Kaehler on them. Volvo part 3523608 or 1347603 (the latter is a older version, they are interchangable).

here's some relay location diagrams,

Its a 1984 244 dl there is two exactly the same but one is black and the other one is white.

 

84 (LH 2.0) has a pair of relays, one for the fuel pump, the other for the fuel injection system, they are shown here,
