its suppose to be a switch that has contacts inside so if the car rolls over, it cuts the power to the pump for safety reasons.

I think I had a faulty relay and the pump went at the same time. I replaced the pump and it did the same symptom that night. I then changed the relay 2 days ago and it has not done it since. I was just following up on a suggestion from a Mech on any other possible things it could be. Lets hope this does it, its aggravating at times. Thanks for the help guys.

I haven't looked for a roll over switch but I haven't come across one in the wiring diagram either. I don't these have one. Being Volvo you'd think they would have been the first ??

Yeah, your issue sounds like a relay issue.

Glad you got it fixed!
