l have is350 f 2015 series1 and the ac compressor is not engaging when its in cooling mode. l checked if the clutch moves by applying 12 volte dc using power probe and it did engage. l am unable to find the ac relay to check if it burned out. does any one knows where it is located? l don't have the manual to check it. l already checked the two fuse box but couldn't find ac relay other than 7.5 amp fuse and the fuse is ok.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi buddy, l sold my car long time ago lol but l remember what the issue was. The clutch was not engaging because it was low on gas (refrigerant r134a) when l hooked the refrigeration gauge hi side was low. If l remember correctly l jumped the low pressure cut out and the compressor engaged, that's when l knew it was low on gas. I pressurized with nitrogen and l was unable to find leak, l vacuumed the system and put r134a refrigerant as per manufacturer volume. And worked well for 2 summers then sold it. I am a refrigeration mechanic but l am sure you can do it by watching on YouTube. It's not that hard. Hope that answered your question.
