Which relay is my fuel pump relay? (link to picture) 900

I was looking at my relays last night in anticipation of replacing my fuel pump relay, but the guy at the store said he had three different colors of fuel pump relays. I didn’t have my Volvo with me since it is dying so he couldn't go see which one I had. I’m also replacing my coil wire in the engine, I’m thinking that that might be a part of the problem of my car dying. When it first died a couple of months ago, I looked under the hood and saw that the coil wire was dangling loose, I reattached it and the car ran fine. When my car died four times on the 12 mile trip home from work last Friday, I tapped on this wire and the car started right back up in two of the four times (don’t know if it was the wire, or just the act of opening the hood and tapping the wire gave it enough time to rest). If anybody is wondering, a new coil wire from an import car parts place runs $13, and a new fuel pump relay runs $40. If neither the fuel pump relay nor the new coil wire solves the problem, I'll try a new radio suppression relay ($20).

But anyway, which one is my fuel pump relay? I’m thinking that it’s the white one on the right (the one that says “VOLVO” on it). And for future reference, what are the other main relays in there?

Here are a couple of pics of the relays with the storage compartment under the radio removed.

The third picture is of my console with my aftermarket radio. If anybody is thinking about installing an aftermarket radio, it really isn’t that bad of a job, and you’ll have a CD player…

Thanks!
