I'm pretty certain my FPR is at the end of it's rope. Car's been intermittently hard to start. Might be the Hall sensor, but I doubt it. Hard starting is one of the symptoms I've noted in my 940 and 240 right before the relay bit the dust. Last evening I pulled the ashtray out and exposed the fuse panel. I broke out the Haynes Manual which shows a picture of some guy releasing a couple of clips to enable you ro slide the fuse and relay panel into the car. Well, I'll be damned if I could release those clips or slide that panel anywhere. Thus, I was unable to reach the fuel pump relay which resides at the back end of the relay panel.

Yes, I know this sounds like a stupid question, but....

How do you get the fuse and relay panel out of it's hiding place under the radio?

    If you've got the "graphic equalizer" option on your radio, then you probably don't have an empty storage box over the ashtray. You have to remove that part.

    If it is a coin box, you pull the cover ring off the cig lighter and there are 2 screws under there. Once that piece over the ashtray is out, the whole thing can be removed, or just the fuel relay. It's in the front (farthest) row of relays from you.

    To replace the relay, remove the storage box above the relay panel. The 700/900 FAQ has instructions: two screws, then pull from the left.
