AC clutch relay location

Does anyone know where is AC clutch relay? My A/C compressor is not running, since it's low on freon so A/C clutch is not kick in. I try to load freon into it, and I wasn't able let out the freon on the low pressure side. Does any one knows how? I am trying to use the freon with the dye so I can see where the leak is...
thanks

I can't help you with your question, but was wondering what size wheels you have on your 'E' and do you have any other pictures of your vehicle on a web site for viewing?

Thank you-

Hi,
Those are Carlsson 2/6 brilliant edition 18". currently they are in the wheel repair shop. Firestone nicked couple of them when I replace my tires. so I had a wheel place powder coat them on all four wheels so they will match each other. they are 18x8 and 18x9. I might be interested selling them in the future.

Hello Kicker;

I recently switched to 18" AMG Style III's, so I was interested in your wheel size due to the lowered look. Did you lower and if so, what specifically did you do? I have been looking at H&R and Eibach springs to lower mine approximately 1.25" or so, and yours caught my eye. Any other photo's?



As you can see, it needs a little lowering...

by the way my "EC" economy button is not working, and always lit on. I guess becuase no freon and to shut off the compressor and clutch is off.

yes, I lowered with vogtland spring and koni shocks, I'll try to find some pic for you on the PC for you. it did lower quite bit, I also had to replace the spring pad at the rear to #1 give it a lower look.

Thanks for the information; I'll look forward to some photo's, as your 'E' looks really sharp.

Now hopefully someone will answer your original question...
