Chattering Fuel Pump Relay 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be toano3 on  Fri Dec 31 14:47 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My 1984 Volvo 240 DL wagon with 168K miles cranks well but will not start. The fuel pump relay under the dash (passenger side) can be heard chattering (i.e. rapidly closing and opening). In-tank pump and main pump are working. Switching fuel pump and system relays give same sympton. Chattering is present in intermediate and start position. Engine wiring harness wires are brittle in some areas especially at connector on engine firewall. Is this the classic electical short or is something else?
