    My ac light went out,so i put in a new fuse and changed the switch(cause it broke). But the ac light still wont go on and the compressor wont switch on. Cant find a relay anywhere. Pulled out the glove box and kick panel,opened up the dash,nothing. Whats up? Wheres it at?

    There is no relay for the compressor, it's controlled directly by the A/C Amplifier which is powered by the 10 Amp A/C Fuse.

    The pressure switches have nothing to do with the light lighting up.
    You need to test for power at the switch on the blue/white wire, if there's power there check the black/blue wire for power with the switch on and see if it's making it through the switch.

    Thanks i’ll check those out. The switch does activate the pump and im getting cold air now,just no light still. Thanks for the info,maybe its just a faulty switch,even if it is new. But atleast i do have cold ac now.
