Yesterday I started my car , put it in reverse and it died now it will not start anymore.
Seeing I have a spark I am assuming its the fuel pump or the relay. But I can not seem to find the relay can someone please advise me on where it is located.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

The fuel pump relay is on the front left fender next to the ignition coil.

Thanks for the help. I found the relay it was under the kick panel, but according to my Haynes repair manual it is suppose to have 6 prongs the one I found only has 4 prongs and looks like the one shown is in the manual as being from a 75-78 model. So I didn't try to jumper it to see if my pump comes on. I did jumper the fuse box 4 to 6 and heard my fuel pump.
So I called Autozone for the relay and they told me the one for a 87 has 6 prongs.
So now I am confused can someone please help me
the relay number is 1324675-12V.

My Volvo publication shows the fuel pump relay for the '87 240 has 6 prongs and is located next to the ignition coil. The relay in the passenger compartment is the fuel injection relay and has 4 prongs.

On the '86 model both the pump relay and the fuel injection relay are under the dash on the right side. I add this one in case you have a late model '86.

First of thanks for your great help my manual said nothing about the passenger side .
Now that I found the relay I jumpered it as described in the my haynes manual but the fuel pump did not come on. But it will come on if I jumper the fuse box.
