How do you jump a fuel pump on a Volvo 240?
How to “JUMP” the fuel pump circuit from your Volvo 240 fuse panel: The fastest method to make the main fuel pump run (bypassing the Fuel Pump Relay) is by jumping two circuits at the fuse panel (left side driver’s side kick panel on a left hand drive 240).

Can a relay fail when hot?
