The A/C compressor would trip off occasionally and comes back on its own.

I want to locate the fuse and the relay to check for possible partial contact.

Thanks

The relay is in the engine junction block on the left side of the engine compartment.

If this is not the issue can you give a little more detail on what this is doing? The compressor is meant to cycle on and off depending on pressure and temperature but if it shuts off for a while then just kicks on when the A/C is not turned on, this does sound like a wiring issue on your vehicle.

Do you have the push button control or the lever type A/C control?
