Post Relay box ? What is this for help please.

Hello everyone, I have a 2005 v6 f150 and the ac compressor gets no power.


I checked fuses, relays, high and low pressure switches even the ac climate control unit.

My question is: I found a relay box in the drivers side fender with a small relay and a small fuse.

Can anyone tell me what this box is or what that relay does? I read a lot of forums and some say it's the ac clutch relay.

Any input would be appreciated.


I would post pictures but I'm on my phone. Unless what I did worked and you are able to see the pic I uploaded.

That's the auxiliary relay box. Here's the diagram from the manual:

Thanks for the info. I guess the problems lies elsewhere, I'll keep looking for possible problems.

So the clutch relay or diode are eliminated as the possible cause? I was monitoring this thread as I'm having intermittent no-AC issues, but if I had no power at the compressor, I would replace the diode first, then the relay. What am I missing?

Why did you guys disregard the R202 relay? It says it's for the AC clutch. Couldn't it be that?
