Hi Chris,

The problem is with whatever you're using for documentation.

Fuse 6 has no purpose in the 1990 240 for North American market. But your FI relay terminal 30 definitely needs constant battery power.

The red wire feeding it comes from the blade fuse on the inner fender. If you read through the recent post https://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1657764/220/240/260/280/1990_start_cranks_fi_relay_click_ignition.html you'll see this is a common trouble which has a simple way to rule out.

Did you find the .pdf I linked earlier in your thread Chris? It shows the correct wiring. Page 17, grid A-1 for the battery and fuse, and page 18 grid C-4,5 for the relay. I know, it's like a corn maze, but at least it is accurate in this circuit.
