Try Middle row of Relays on Engine bay Fusebox, 2nd from the left next to a Circular Relay.
To Confirm this :
1. Trace the wire coming off the Magnetic Clutch for the A/C Compressor and note which wire it is on the 3 Wire Plug ontop of the compressor.
2. Unplug the 3 wire plug ontop of the compressor and with the Multimeter on Resistance or Continuity Mode insert one probe on the wire that supplies power to the Magnetic Clutch.
3. Remove the Relay suspected to be A/C Compressor Relay and probe all 4 of the Terminals on the slot until a link is shown.
The A/C Compressor Relay normally does not become faulty and it is more likely you are low on refrigerant or the compressor clutch coil is shorted or open or a faulty pressure sensor.
When taking the gar to be re-gassed, ask the mechanic/technician to check for leaks from the Compressor and every joint/fitting. If the compressor is found to be leaky it needs to be removed to check oil level.
