Does anyone know where behind the dash the fuel pump relay is in an '82 244? There are two right? I've heard they're green? Any tips appreciated.

 

Not sure on the '82. On mine, it's right above the passenger's right foot. On the firewall. Behind the glove box, which must be removed,7 small sheet metal screws. My FPR is a white plastic box about 1" by 2".

 

Ok thanks. I'll look to see if it's there.

 

Hum it isn't there. The only thing there is the ECU behind the kicker panel but no relays. What year is yours?

 

I found it! On the '82 it is actuallly just above the drivers left foot. Its green and about 2' by 1'

 

Please help,am looking for the fuel pump relay on a 1987 240dl?

 

It should be on the passenger side of the car (assuming left-hand drive) just below the glove box. Just remove the felt panel under the dash and it should be by the firewall. It looks like this: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vol...80-940-3523608

 

Hi Team,
Thanks for all the great info to a new Volvo owners and lovers. I too am having issues with my Volvo not starting and locating the fuel pump relay.
Problems starting after a long day of driving approx 300km in the sun on a 35 degree celcius day (35 in the shade). After stopping for 4 hours to install and elctric fan on my AC radiator (all went well and according to plan) my Volvo wouldn't start!

Does anybody know where to locate the Fuel Pump Relay on my 1989 240GL Automatic Sedan B230F Right Hand Drive (Australia)
I have looked under the kick panel on driver and passenger footwells as well as the matting under the dash and removed the glove box and wasn't able to see the green or white relays that I have seen pictured in forums / YouTube.

1. I can confirm that relay is most likely the non-starting issue as I shorted the fuses to the two pumps and heard the whirring of one of them (not sure which one that is though), however it still did not start
2. My Volvo has:
a) Good spark through brand new leads and plugs
b) Fuel (although only about 15 litres in tank)
c) Compression (by hand, sound and sight test)
d) Fuel definitely getting into the injectors (but not sure if getting into bore)
e) Between 0.2 / 0.6 volts reading on two different multimeters at injector terminals
f) New fuse housing on side near coil (injector / fuel pump relay fuse)

Thanks again everyone for getting me this far it's been fun!

It may be just me but considering you installed an electrical device in the car and it did not start I would look at the installation and fuses . To much of a coincidence that the car failed to start after the installation of the fan.

 

Hey jagtoes,

Thanks for the reply. You might be right and that was the first thing we thought of when troubleshooting. We took the fan connections off and returned all other connections to how there were and it did not start. The fan is installed now but unless it is somehow interfering the the Jetronic ECU I can't imagine what it could be doing wrong.
This is why we tested the voltage being delivered to the injectors and that appeared to be in the range for normal operation.
All fuses in the car appear to be in good order.

This has left me at the injectors either being blocked or not receiving the fuel at high enough pressure to get into the tank. which could mean even though I have shorted the fuses, one of the pumps is not delivering enough petrol / petrol at a high enough pressure.

Thanks again for your reply.

 

As we always say you need fuel , spark and air to make these run. So that being said I would check for spark and then for fuel pressure. If you pull one You can also shoot a little starter fluid in to the throttle body and if it starts then you have a fuel problem. Verify these 2 issues and it should start.

 

Ahoy Dan aka elvinoblancoyfuenegro just wondering if you had any luck finding the starting issue with your 1989 Aussie issue 240GL??? I've recently gotten the 87 240GL I've been restoring for the Mrs back on the road and drove it 180km to mid north coast (from Newcastle) without it missing a beat, but then it cut out & wouldn't restart...got spark at the leads, 9-10V at main fuel pump but not pumping...pump working fine when connected direct to battery...
wondering whether mine ours may be suffering from same issue as yours???
Ps ran out of time to remove & check the in tank pump (had to borrow old boy's hilux to get the family home&#128556

 

there should be pretty much full battery voltage at the pump, but note the pump does not run when the engine isn't turning over, only when you crank it... stop cranking, and it cuts the power about 1 second later. ok, that might only be 9-10V while cranking because the starter draws so much power.
