Vacuum pump relay malfunction S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be BK on  Tue Oct 19 17:06 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My wife has a 2000 V40 with 86,000 miles. A few nights ago she brought the car home with a loud and constant clicking sound coming from the left front fender. It was the relay to the vacuum pump shorting. Service techs pulled the pump and replaced the relay. However they told her the plastic shroud on the pump housing was cracked and full of water !?!

This seems odd given the location of the pump in the front fender. The wheel well liner should deflect almost all the water, the valance panel underneath it is not water tight so it should not "fill up" and flood it and besides it hasn't been raining here in months!

Anyone else had an issue with this or even heard of it?
