"Fun With The Tank Pump Fuse"
The Tank Pump Fuse can be very helpful if you have a 200 series Volvo, and a Test Light or Digital Multimeter.
Depending on the Fuel Injection system, the Tank Pump Fuse will be or #4 (LH 2.2, 2.4) or #5 (K-jet, LH 2.0, LH 1.0)
When looking at the fuses, the unfused or "Hot" side is on the left, as shown below.
Hot (+) side *<<(FUSE 4/5)>> fused () side goes> to the Tank Pump
* Voltage at (or applied to) the Hot side goes *DIRECTLY* to the Main Pump. (This point SHOULD normally be at +12V whenever the FI Relay is energized.)
At the Fuse Holder, you can:
Verify Fuel Injection (aka Fuel Pump) Relay operation. (Look for +12V on Fuse 4/5 input while cranking)
>>> Test ("hot wire") either Fuel Pump (or both) Get +12V from fuse 6 input contact <<<
Use the hot wire as a No-Start diagnostic, or to run pumps for pressure tests, etc.
Measure each pump's Current "draw" (requires Ammeter function, 10 amps max is OK)
Test and measure the O2 heater resistance (LH 2.4)
