It takes my compressor 10 seconds to turn on after I turn the knob on and a friend said something about an a/c delay relay sticking. Anybody know where it is?

Only a/c related relay i know is is the WOT relay.

The compressor does take a few seconds to kick in after turning the a/c on. I beleive mine takes 5 seconds roughly. I never actually timed it though

The constant control relay module deactivates the A/C clutchwhen signalled by the powertrain control module . The A/C clutch could be deactivated in this manner under the following conditions:

engine start-up
wide open throttle (WOT)
during low engine idle conditions
excessively high engine temperature
