I own a 96 XLT 5.0. Does anyone know the location of the Compressor relay for the A/C? I had taken the vehicle to my brother's shop to fix the blend door last Saturday and after fixing that, we ran into the problem of the compressor not receiving any juice though being fully charged. After checking all of the fuses related to the A/C system, he and a coworker diagnosed it as a bad relay. At the moment I have a hot wire run to the compressor from the battery and a toggle switch in-line installed in the dash. It is a temporary solution, I know, but I live in MS and the past week's temps have been high 90s with heat indexes close to 110.
The reason I resorted to this is that they (the mechanics) couldn't track down the location of the relay box that held the relay for the compressor. After reading a bit in the forums, I noticed that relay boxes #1 & #2 are displayed but I don't seem to see the Compressor relay in either.
