Try a known working relay in its place... I have also put my hand on the relay while someone is driving and pressed the over drive button on and off, you should feel the relay "click" inside.

Where is the overdrive relay at?

Well the overdrive relay is SITUATED behind the left driver's side foot panel (in a right side driver's seat like we have in Australia), and it's BOLTED ON TO A BRACKET! So you can't just reach in and access it from under the dash. But if you want to know how to TAKE OFF the panel, don't ask me! I actually want to get to the relay to default the overdrive to OFF so that when you drive in the suburbs, as most people do most of the time, the overdrive doesn't cut in and out all the time around 60 Kph. I've had a car where that was done, and it's such a relief! You only hit the overdrive button on the freeway, where you want it. Cheers.


Where would the fuel pump relay be located on a 1986 Volvo 240 DL?

I may be way off, but in my '85 240, the relay is beneath the dash on the passenger side. I don't know if it was moved after 85. Good luck. Yes that's right, its under the dash , its easiest to take out the glove box to get at it. You don't have to take the glove box out to remove the fuel pump relay. If you're thinking of the overdrive relay you would be correct. To remove the fuel pump relay, you have to remove the cloth cover under the passenger side of the dashboard. The relay is rectangular, and attached to the firewall by a metal clip. It's white in color and the part number is 3523608.

Is there a fuse problem or what with the 1991 Plymouth Voyager horn when the relay clicks but horn does not sound?

It is important to know what is causing problems in a car. When the horn relay clicks, but the horn does not sound, it is not a fuse but more likely to be the cars clock spring.

Why would a 1988 Volvo 240 overdrive only work after a long drive of around 2 hours or more?

I called a shop called DaisyWagon on Ravenna in Seattle. Here's what they said. If your overdrive is working after a period of time it's a heat issue; i.e. the overdrive isn't working until something heats up. If the relay was broken, the overdrive would never work. The same thing goes for the solenoid (another "solution" on these sites)- it to is an on and off mechanism that most likely wouldn't be effected by heat. The folks at Daisy wagon most confidently said that what they do is enlarge a passageway near the diaphragm near the solenoid. After years the passageway gets to narrow and fluid won't flow through there until it is thin enough to do so at the right pressure (the speed you need for overdrive) This is why, when the fluid finally expands enough after warming up, it will activate the working solenoid and relay. If anyone has more to add to this I'd be glad to hear it- but after searching for a long time, this seemed to be a reason I could put some weight on. I'm getting the operation done on Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes.


Does the Volvo fuel pump relay control the fuel gauge?

Older models, no. Current models, unlikely. But it would be good to know what year and model, eh? Overall, the FPR controls the fuel pump only.
