The fuel pump relay is located, just behind the ashtray, above the fuses. But in order to remove the relay, you must first unscrew the cigar lighter to remove the housing. The fuel pump relay, is the one on the right of the two. Et voila.
I had the same problem with a 1989 Volvo 740 GLE station wagon. I did the same thing you did. But this time I talked to the local Independent Volvo service shop, not the dealer. The problem turn out to a bad fuel pump in the gas tank. You can replace it from inside the back of the station wagon. Just remove the floor panel to access the top of the fuel tank. But before you do; note that there are two fuel pumps, one inline underneath the car on the drivers side, and the one inside the gas tank. Before, you replace any of the fuel pumps check the fuel pump relay behind the astray on the left side. It could also be a bad relay.
Have you tried replacing the fuel filter? It is located under the cars center on the left side ..
You will find it alongside the main high pressure fuel pump on a metal
support plate held up with 3 bolts. Remove the 3 bolts with a 10mm
socket wrench to lower the plate. Place a catch pan below the filter to
catch any leaking fuel. Be careful not to get fuel in you eyes or
running down your arms. Remove the 2 bolts holding the banjo fuel pipe
connections to the filter. Note the direction of the filter. Loosen the
clamp holding the filter to the support plate and slide out the old
filter. Install the new filter in the same direction as the old one and
use new copper sealing washers on the banjo connections.
The most obvious places are the Power steering rack itself - at each end, and the hoses that are attatched to it.
A leak at the pump is easily spotted.
Hoses are cheaper to replace than seals on the rack (which may require a new unit)
