Re: 1998 Volvo v70 xc - awd fuel pump issue?

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions - they've kept me calm as I try to work through this problem.

I'll disconnect the battery and rerun my resistance/continuity checks.

Before trying to cut wires, I decided to check continuity from fuse to relay pin 15 - everything OK. I then checked my ...

Re: 1998 Volvo v70 xc - awd fuel pump issue?

reggie,
As Lee suggested, when you check voltage on the red wire at the rear hatch, try connecting the black voltmeter lead to a good bare metal ground on the frame or chassis, and see if that makes a difference. If you get 12 volts relative to the frame, but not relative to the black wire, the ...

Re: 1998 Volvo v70 xc - awd fuel pump issue?

Well, it appears that I made a mistake in reading the voltage in the rear access hatch. It should have been 0.09 volts briefly when key was turned to pos II, then down. When cranking it moved up to 0.04 volts. This is much less than the expected 12+ volts.

I get 12.2 V at the fuel pump fuse, so ...

Re: Fuel pump relay wiring

There is no power to the fuel pump. The pump is brand new! and has been tested after initial installation! The loss of power is in between the relay and the pump. I just looked at the wiring diagrams on this site (which are awesome) and I think I need to trace the pink power wire connection to the ...

Re: 1998 Volvo v70 xc - awd fuel pump issue?

Lee, thanks. Was looking at the old fuel pump just before reading your post. Good to know about the white wires.

When the key is turned to pos II, I get nothing (voltage wise) with the red wire - for both pos II or cranking the engine. So, I moved to the access hatch behind the rear passenger seat ...

Re: 1998 Volvo v70 xc - awd fuel pump issue?

I've replaced the pump, but the system still doesn't work. Today I've checked the fuel at the fuel rail (schrader valve), and there was nothing. With key in pos II, I checked the voltage at the fuel pump fuse, and it was 12.2V, when I removed the main relay this dropped to 0.15V. I then removed the ...

Re: 1998 Volvo v70 xc - awd fuel pump issue?

Thanks to all on this forum, the information is great. Here is my problem. About four weeks ago I came out from work and my '98 V70 XC would not start. It would turn over, but did appear to be getting fuel. The tow truck driver confirmed spark and towed it. The mechanic there said it was the fuel ...
