You probably have a bad connection somewhere. Plus you can't always trust a diagram you find somewhere. That could for a different year volvo 240. I take it that the car doesn't have the factory harness anymore? I suggest getting a Digital multimeter and checking the wires for the constant 12 volt and switched ACC 12 volt.

Try going somewhere else for power instead of the radio wiring harness. Also do this for the ground. Some of those European vehicles have some weird wiring schematics and requires a DMM to locate the correct wires.
