Ok so hopefully one of you guys had the same problem that I'm having. NO A/C and i'm in Texas. = super hot. anyways this is what i've done so far. The low pressure switch checked out and is working fine, the a/c clutch WOT relay checked out ok, but decided to buy it anyways ( i was really hoping that something was wrong). but I'm not getting any power to the plug connector that goes to the wires for the a/c clutch. Fuses are good and unless there's another relay that I'm unaware of I'm pretty much at a loss. The wiring under the hood appears to be factory and never touched. (even the wire loom along the fire wall still appears to be in good shape). The car sat for ~10+ years but have ran into no major problems until now...

any suggestions? I'll buy a burrito to anyone who can point me in the right diretion and get this thing working. Because the next step is to trace the wires coming from the connectors that goes to the a/c clutch back to the firewall and that's too much of a headache to do.

You really need a wiring schematic. If you can find one and post it, I can help you. See if you can find one. Otherwise it's just a guessing game. I would say first is to find the compressor relay and jump it. Should have two hot pins, one ground, and one lead to the comp.

Alright. First things first. Test light clamped to ground. Key to run. Pull the a/c relay. Test for 2 hot leads. Should have power to 2 terminals. It looks to be called the wot cut out relay.
