I have a 2000 Sienna XLE. AC isn't working. Light comes on but compressor isn't running. I'd like to crosswire the clutch relay recepticle to verify that the clutch and compressor are working and recharge the system but I can't find the compressor clutch relay. I've seen multiple threads about a MC CLT relay in the engine compartment fusebox but it's not there on this year vehicle. The owner's manual indicates that there are two fuseholders under the steering column dash, but I can't identify anything that I recognize as a fusebox or relay.
There have also been some threads that refer to "manual a/c" versus "climate control" or something to that effect. Although I'm not familiar with those terms, I assume there are different wiring schematics associated with the different systems. I don't want to put a lot of extraneous information here, but will also mention that the sensor on the high pressure AC line is a three-wire sensor. Some threads have suggested that crosswiring the compressor clutch relay recepticle is OK for a two wire pressure sensor system, but not OK for a three wire sensor.
Locating the compressor clutch relay so I can turn on the compressor and recharge the system is my first and main objective. Thanks for any help you can give me.
