Solution:
1. Using a scan tool look for A/C switch “ON” and A/C clutch “ON”. If the Engine Control Module (ECM) indicates the A/C switch is on and the A/C clutch is on, then check the A/C compressor clutch relay. The relay is located in the fuse box under the hood, and is the relay in the middle of 3 relays located together and has a snowflake picture on the cover of the fuse/relay box. Swap the relay with the blower motor relay to verify it is not a faulty relay
