How do you change the fuel pump relay in a 1988 Volvo 240?

The fuel pump relay on a 240 is in front of the passenger's knees, against the firewall, just above the thick fabric footwell cover. It's white, part number 3523608. They used the same relay from 1985 until the end of the run in 1993. It's the same relay as the 740 & 940 most years also. It has a date stamped on it & it should be replaced if the date is more than approximately 10 years ago even if it's still working. It just pulls out of the connector & the new one pushes in.

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.

Where is the power steering in a 1993 240 Volvo?

On a 1993 240 Volvo the power steering pump and reservoir are a single unit and it is located above the a/c compressor. Physically it looks like a small black box with a black cap on top. The cap itself has a small dipstick to measure the oil level inside the unit. The unit will have two metal hoses coming out of it.

Why doesnt 1987 Volvo wagon switch to high gear?

Your car has an electric overdrive. When the circuit is broken, the o.d. is off. Try this: try turning the key to run with engine off while parked somewhere quiet. Toggle the switch back and forth, on and off. Lean out of the driver doo and listen for a small click under the car. If it's working you'll hear it. Next, do the same thing but listen in the vicinity of the glove box. Still no clicking? Check the instrument cluster and see if the o.d. light goes on and off. If it does, the switch on the shifter is probably good. That leaves 4 things. a. Fuse (possible) b. solenoid on transmission (possible but not probable) c. o.d. relay (quite possible), pull the 7 screws retaining the glove box and pull the entire glove box out, taking care not to destroy the g.b. light. To the left, you should see a white rectangular relay (possibly orange). Get a new one. As they aren't cheap, crawl under the car and investigate the wire on the drivers side of the transmission connecting to the solenoid. Often times this wire becomes oil soaked and the insulation degrades ad the wire breaks.

How do you set the idle speed in a 1983 Volvo 240?
