If the A/C system is low or out of refrigerant the system will not switch on FYI. The relay is called an "A/C relay" in the main fuse panel under the hood. I would go over this video as well:

and this guide:

Since I don't see the A/C relay in the engine fuse panel it must be integrated into the engine room junction box. Here is the location so you can see, check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
