ac compressor relay location

Post by skaguy »

Hey Everyone,

I am having ac issues and the evidence is starting to point towards the compressor relay. Anybody know where it is? I have used the search function but didn't gt any useful hits.

Thanks in advance.

There are more things that can go wrong than the relays...

But they are located on the front of the heater box below the centre of the dash. There are three that I have found so far.

Thanks,

We found the fuses and relays behind the glove box, all are OK. As far as I can tell from the posts I've seen they are for components other than the clutch relay. Didn't know about anything in the centre of the dash though I'll check that out next.

FYI, the system has pressure, the compressor cuts in when we energise the clutch with a patch wire from the battery and when we do this we get cold air from the ventilation.

Cheers,

2 other things that can stop the compressor from engaging:
- low pressure cut-out switch
- full-throttle cut-out switch

If either of these switches are defective (or actively doing their jobs) the compressor will not engage (my low-pressure cut-out switch needed to be replaced)
