1995 e320 Wagon
ac not working 1995 e320

Hi all,

I am out of town on a trip and the A/C on my 1995 e320 wagon is not blowing cold. I just had the freon replaced/recharged before I left home. Fuse #7 looked fine but I replaced it and it worked great for a part of the day and then went back to no cold air. If I am supposed to hear the compressor clutch clidk on, I am not.
In my cursory research online it appears that there is a relay for the a/c just behind the battery. Is there some way to test that relay other than sticking a new one in there? Is that fuse specifically for the a/c?

The relay I am thinking of is in this picture, poor as it is.

I am stuck on it being either an electrical problem or the clutch on the compressor gave up the ghost. I do not think it is a lack of freon because when it did come on temporarily it was very cold.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
