2003 Toyota matrix no voltage to ac clutch. Ac fuse good..... Switched relay with horn relay and still no voltage to ac clutch single wire. Any ideas . Also got 100 Psi rest pressure ambient temperature 80f.

Hey autojoe! I think a good place to start would be doing some voltage checks at the AC relay socket. Do you have a test light? That'll be ideal for the testing we want to do. This video would be a good place to start for relay testing procedures. It's about a starter relay, but the fundamentals are the same. ;-)



With the engine running, AC activated on the dash, and the relay removed, we're looking for two power feeds and two grounds. See the attachment I included with this post. Touch all four pins with the test light connected to B-, and then all four on B+. Two pins should light in both cases. If one does not light on either polarity, then that's what's missing for this relay to work.

Let us know if you're missing a power, a ground, or both, and we can go from there! :cheer:

No problem! Sorry, totally left the diagram out of my last post. I clipped the clutch relay out for easy viewing:
