Default A/C Compressor NOT turning on - checked fuses

My A/c just stop working. I checked the fan and it comes on if I jump it to 12v. I can also jump the compressor and it will kick in and blow cold air. so the "system" is ok.

I think the fan is controlled by a relay which also depends on the compressor being on so since the compressor doesn't start, the fan stays off.

I checked all the under dash fuses for continuity since I don't know which on controls the compressor and did not find a short - there are a lot missing though but since my A/C was working...

Anyone know which fuse is for the A/C?

Could it be the switch on the climate control? I can see the RPMs change at idle when I hit the switch but the compressor does not start.

System is charged and the pressure looks fine.

Where do I start troubleshooting?

Thanks!

get out your book, the red wire at the AC, does it have voltage? is there voltage coming off the fuse box? try to findout where voltage stops.
i had this problem, i had voltage off the fuse box but none at the compressor. i asume that the harness was bad, so i wired the compressor to a switch.

Found the problem!

There are two relays right above the compressor and the contacts were flaky becuase of excessive grease. I cleaned the contacts and everthing is running again.

Thanks!
