System blows hot air only. The compressor clutch is not engaging. There is no power to the compressor. The fuse is good and the relay is non serviceable. The interior switches light up and work fine.... what is between the relay/fuse and the compressor that is not allowing power to get to the compressor?

Hi,

I attached the wiring schematic for a manual climate control A/C system. As far as the power, it comes from the relay. Take a look at the schematics below. I highlighted the power flow to the compressor.

If you have automatic climate control, it will be different, so let me know.

Let me know where you are losing power and hopefully, we'll be able to figure it out
together.

Take care,
