A/C quit working on the wifes CRV. Compressor clutch wont engage. Nothing in the owners manual about a fuse or relay for the A/C. Is there a relay or fuse, and where is it located? After investigating further the compressor appears to be locked up as well. Cant even turn it over with a wrench on the clutch. After a little research it seems this is pretty common on the CRV's.

Going to replace myself, what is the easiest means of removal? It appears the radiator needs to come out to get access. Best replacement compressor? OEM or aftermarket?

I appreciate any info you can provide.
