I'm suppose to replace the relay for the A/C compressor, but I'm not sure where it's located on the car. Can you help me out here?

Your vehicle's A/C compressor control relay is located on the left side of the firewall, to the left of the brake booster.

Ok, I found what you are talking about as to the three relays on the left side of the firewall, but I'm not sure which one it is. I included a picture of the setup in my car.

Should be the middle one. you can match up the OEM part number to the new relay if needed.

Well I've just tried all but one relay and the clutch on the compressor still won't engage when the A/C is turned on. When I checked the wires that ran to the compressor I had no juice from them. I figured it was the relay, but it could be a pressure valve. Any help here?

Sorry, I'm not big on A/C systems. I will inform the other 2CarPro Techs to see what they can come up with for you though.

Thanks for helping out. Saves me time and money, both of which I have little of to work on my car.
