apparently it's not getting the right voltage because i do hear clicking. but it sounds like one click is near the front passenger side of the engine and about 15 seconds later there's a second click somewhere around the air conditioner cannister. i'm assuming that must be where the relay is located but still need to check. i don't know if this is a coincidence, but the problem started right about the same time the air conditioner was retrofitted. and too the dash lights do get more erratic when i turn the air conditioner on.

concerning the clicking....there's one click then a second click about 15 seconds later then it repeats about every 30 seconds or so.

i will have to have a mechanic check the voltage at the relay. i don't know how to do that.

thanks for the tip. it narrowed down the troubleshooting process by a lot!
