1990 240 No Fuel Pump Buzzz

So my fuel pumps arent turning on UNLESS I put a jumper wire from fuse #6-4. I've read this is a common way to limp your car home. Well, I'm home now what? Can someone give me some diagnostic tips on what wires to check for power/ground? I put a new fuel pump relay (the one under the glovebox) in an...

Re: 1990 240 No Overdrive

Nearly 1 year later I guess its time to follow up. My problem ended up being the overdrive solenoid, I just modified the existing solenoid and fixed my problem. I looked at several companies "bypass plate" and seen someone modifying their stock solenoid to create the same effect. Basicly I...

Re: 1990 240 No Overdrive

Will do, does it say "hot" or "cold" on the stick?

Re: 1990 240 No Overdrive

Ok, it looks like the cable you are referring to is the lower of the 2 cables. The upper cable appears to be the accelerator cable. Yes, both cables seem to be working very freely. I wasnt able to check on the transmission on the other end of the cable to see what was moving/supposed to be moving.

Re: 1990 240 No Overdrive

I'll check, does that need to be operating freely even if I'm accelerating at a slow rate? I understand that when I'm trying to pass some one and I accelerate rapidly how that might be necessary, but does it need to be working even if I'm accelerating slowly up to 60mph?

Re: Brights turning off radio

I have a similar problem. When I try and use my bright lights it blows a fuse (cant remember what #). Which kills my headlights and tail lights completely, which isn't something you want to happen while driving down the highway. Solution I've came up with so far is to never use my brights.

Re: 1990 Volvo 240 Fuel pump?

I'm having the same problem it sounds like. I've also posted my question in the forum. Please share any information you get. We might just have the exact same problem.
