AC clutch will not engage. Checked the fuses but cannot find the AC relay. Does it have one and if so where?
Thanks

Hello, I am Danny.
The A/C relay is built into the power distribution box and is not serviceable (information attached). However, the A/C system has a cutout switch that will shut compressor off if low refrigerant level is detected. Has the system been checked/serviced/refrigerant added lately? Hope this helps and ask any questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

Danny:
It does have low refrigerant and It will not take it without the compressor running. Is there a way to make the compressor run? Also, where is the cut off located and can it be tested with an ohm meter?
Thanks

Hello again.
I will check and get back to you on that. By the way, if you use those do-it-yourself cans you buy at your local auto parts if you charge it eventually enough will enter and the compressor will begin to cycle. That is if the system has no problems. Just a thought.
