The compressor clutch won't run, but the compressor isn't locked up. There is power from the AC fuse but no sigh of an AC relay in the fuse box.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The compressor relay or A/C relay is located in the IPDM (intelligent power distribution module) and is not serviceable. Are you sure the Freon isn't low? The low pressure switch will prevent the compressor from engaging if pressure is too low.

As far as the IPDM, it is near the battery under the hood. See picture 1.

Let me know about the Freon.
