Volvo Repair: 87 Volvo 240GL fuel problem, fuel pump relay, fuel pumps

Question
My '87 Volvo 240GL with a B230F engine will not start. It stalled a few times but restarted immediately in the few days before dying entirely. It turns over just fine and there is a spark. I checked the fuses for both fuel pumps and they are fine. I pulled out the fuel pump relay (white, #1324675) and it functions - at least the relay will still close when I feed it 9V accross the coil. I tested to see if there was voltage being supplied to the relay itself - and the thicker wires, the ones that the relay switches, did have 12V, but the ones that control the relay were dead when I cranked the engine. I can not hear the fuel pump run, nor did any fuel flow from the fuel line when I disconnected it from the engine, stuck it in a bottle and had someone crank the engine for a few seconds.

any help would be very much appreciated - I normally use this car to get to and from college each day. Thank you,

Answer
take the relay apart and look at the solder connections and look for ones that are cracking and resolder them see if that helps.if it does not it may still be bad or the other possibility is that the control unit is bad. there should be 2 grounds supplied to the relay one is black yellow and the other I believe is blue and yellow.if one of those are missing when cranking then the control unit is bad.
