Default 2004 Stratus A/C issue.

I recently purchased an 04' Stratus Sedan with A/C issues. First-off the liquid line had rubbed-through so I replaced it. The system appeared to be leak-free at that point after attaching my A/C vaccum so I put in a can of freon and the high-speed fans kick in but I get no A/C clutch working. I pulled off the one-wire connection at the clutch and get no power at the clutch connector. I do have a set of factory manuals but the manual A/C wiring diagram doesn't show the A/C clutch, cut-off switch, etc. in the diagram so I don't know where to start to diag it. Anyone have a copy of the wiring diagram or know where I can get one at? I'm trying not to have to go Chiltons to pay the $15 or $25 one day access fee for manuals, etc.

Default 04 stratus a/c issues

I got the wiring diagram and started checking into it and had a question. When I flipped the engine fusebox over to check voltages at the A/C clutch relay, I had battery voltage at DB/WT, RD/LG, and DB/OG with the A/C on. The only wire with 0 volts was the DB/BK wire going to the A/C clutch. This looks to be the problem but I was wondering if the A/C relay is unique or if it is the same as the other smaller relays next to it in the fuse box. I tried switching the relays and the A/C never worked. I also checked continuity on the DB/BK wire from the fuse box to the A/C clutch itself and it was good. Any ideas?

Default 04 Stratus A/C issue.

It ended up being the A/C control head. I tried a used one out of an 05 Stratus and it fixed my intermittent rear defrost issue and air conditioning issue.
