I have intermittent AC operation. I've checked the pressures which seem fine, flushed & cleaned condenser coils and swapped AC and heater relays but unit still works intermittently. Is there a clutch relay somewhere?

Here is the location of the relay. Don't overlook that is could be just a weak compressor clutch also. Here is a guide to help test it with the location of the relay in the diagrams below.

A/c compressor runs for a few seconds and then the a/c light starts flashing.I jumped the compressor 37 psi low and 170 high.A/c blows cold. What would cause the a/c light to flash? Bad sensor? A/c amplifier gone bad? Is there a low pressure sensor I can check?

Not pressure sensor when light blinks if belt not slipping then amplifier is likely
