Why are the relays on my Volvo not working?

Relays made for Volvos are mass-produced and the soldering on the circuit boards is not the best on some of them. After many years of use, lots of heat cycles, etc, these relays will often become intermittent or fail. Most of these failures can be traced to a solder joint or two (or three) that has become cracked.
