A/C not cycling, where is ground connection for these relays?

Hello,

Does the clutch engages intermittently or none at all?
You might have already checked it, but make sure your A/C system is charged properly.

I have attached the wiring diagrams for the A/C system. Also included diagnostics and replacement procedure for your reference.

You might find these articles helpful with checking the wiring:

Please let me know if you need any other information of if you have any questions.

Thank you.

I converted this system from r12 to r134. All parts are new and work. Circuits are all complete except the ground for the fan and clutch relays. The wires for these relays go to the PCM (ECM). By powering up system and jumping the engine fan relay to ground the fan engages and 12 volts transfers to the clutch relay as it should. I have also replaced the PCM with no improvement. I am missing the ground for these two relays. Back to original question "where is ground for the fan and clutch relays"?

Hi,

The ground for the relays themselves is actually the PCM. The PCM sends a ground signal to the relays and they energize the loads. The ground for the Fans themselves is the upper left of the engine.
If the PCM is not grounding the relays to activate them, then the PCM may be getting a signal from one of the sensors so that the PCM logic would indicate to de-energize the relays. Some instances of that would be
WOT- Wide open throttle
Overheating -the PCM shuts off the AC if the engine temp or transmission temp is too high.
A/C over pressure sensor--- Your car may or may not have an over pressure sensor located in the high side of the A/C system, or located on backside the compressor itself.
