I have an 87 240 wagon automatic. Want to buy the overdrive relay on amazon but it says 1987 244 Volvo. It is the same car right?

What is the 244 designation?

Thanks.

Thanks. My OD light is stuck on and it won't shift into 4th. Going to buy that relay on amazon and try it.

Anyone know of a link to a video of how to swap it? Saw some drawings.

Thnx.
