Caliber A/C compressor doesn't have a clutch or relay. It is a Duty Cycled VDOT compressor.

What exact problem are you experiencing? and what have you done so far?

The power comes directly from PCM. And it is duty Cycle control. Btw, what are you check power with? if you are using a Test Light, it will NOT light up. Because it doesn't have enough current to light up a test light.

If you use a Volt Meter, it might give you some reading. However, there are number of things that can shut down the PCM from using the A/C compressor. Be it the pressure switch, evap temp switch, Ambient temp sensor, or a bad HVAC controller. And there really aren't any Common issue with the Caliber's A/C system. You need to Scan for Code with a Chrysler enhanced scanner to start.

Where would you hook the Volt meter up at to check it

I would start by checking all of the fuses in the fuse panel under the hood. The owners manual will tell you what each fuse and relay in the box, goes to.

I also have an issue with my 2011 Caliber ac I scaned for codes and it is saying the ac compressor relay is not working . I check the compressor and it is on and turning and the clutch is engaged and turning . i also checked the low pressure line for pressure and it looks to be high but im not getting any cold ac .
