Behind the ashtray--google "Volvo 940 overdrive relay" for detailed answers on how to get to it. It's beyond the fuse panel, the white one with black print on the right.
it should be behind the ash tray in the fuse box that is located there.
allows power distribution to the overdrive solenoid for overdrive engagement.

BEHIND THE ASHTRAY IN THE FUSEBOX, A WHITE RELAY STANDING STRAIGHT UP.
Behind the ashtray is where it is located. You will need to remove the box above the ashtray to gain access to the relay as you can't slide the fuse/relay panel out otherwise. BTW if the car is an automatic the relay is white and sits on the left side of the panel
Where is starter relay on a 1986 volvo 240gl
The overdrive relay is located in back of the fuse box which is behind the ashtray.
Up through 87 the relay was located behind the ashtray behind the fuses. 88 and up, the relay panel is accessed from the passenger side panel on the side of the center concol. If earlier version, relay "I" - if behind side panel, relay "G".
I had this problem about ten years ago on my 1990 740 GL. The problem was actually a defective relay. The relay is controlled by the button on the gear shift knob and is used to prevent going into 4th gear when towing. It is located among all the relaysbehind the ashtray in the center console panel. Behind all the fuses. At that time I went to the Volvo dealer and bought a new relay and from that worked out which relay to change. In those days it cost me about $45.00. Has worked fine since then. Good luck. You must to isolate the source between the Overdrive relay or the Overdrive solenoid and the overdrive switch at the shifter. Ignition on, engine off - Push the overdrive switch, if you can ear a light click the relay and the switch are probably Ok, check the overdrive solenoid at the transmission. If you don't have the click you have to trouble shoot the switch to see if it's working. - Check continuity to the switch and the 12 volts. - If evething seem to be OK, change the Overdrive relay Good luck
