1998 VolvoV70xc has several relays under the dash

Post by rocky_mtn_man »

I'm finding it hard to replace two relays. I had to loosen the steel baffle to gain access, and thought the red relay
was the fuel pump relay, and ended up pullng all the relays in that location. I have two left; one is pink, and matches
the color code of the location; the other is a timer relay, orange (9148300 12F 89 8756 000), but the location color is dark blue
so I'm wondering if I am missing a dark blue one and this one belongs somewhere else. I looked at a relay diagram that lists
the engine bay relays and the passenger side compartment (which is where my fuel pump relay will go), but nothing mentions
a timer relay.

Does anyone have a diagram showing the six relays underneath the driver side dash?

The fuel pump relay is under hood, right in front of the driver side windshield.

There is a chassis break moving to 1999, where the relay moves under the fuse box, which has to be removed to access.
