Bumping thread from almost a year ago, today the ac compressor finally failed again, couldn't find a relay for it but just a 10amp fuse, removed fuse to check it, wasn't blown but when I put it back in the compressor started spinning again, I'm hoping just corrosion on the terminal is the culprit

The magnetic clutch relay is in a relay box, engine compartment drivers side.

The A/C system has various components such as max/min pressure sensors, amplifier, speed sensor, etc. Its possible the system reset and the problem will occur again.

Have you checked high/low pressures when A/C is operating with a gauge set?

No because I didn't have my gauges with me yesterday when it happened, but it's blowing cold again just fine with a newer fuse, less corrosion on the prongs
