    are you certain that the spring/contact in the aluminum shifter shaft cover at the back of the transmission is intact?

    It's this part:

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, no one will carry the correct relay if you do need one.

    Volvo still sells it, but it very expensive and looks different than the original.

    You can substitute a relay commonly used by stereo and alarm shops, but you have to add a jumper wire.

    It is way cheaper than the Volvo relay which costs over $37.00.

    Before condemning the relay, check for power to the relay, check the ground signal from the transmission and check continuity of the light wire to the trunk.
