I have read the 10 page long A/C forums, which is how I got to this point in my troubleshooting.

Issue:
- When I jumper the compressor relay it cuts on and the air gets cold.
- When i press the button in the car it turns green and cuts the A/C fan on but not the compressor.
- I only have green and off no yellow A/C button
- Yes the compressor is filled with Freon, I have checked it on the low side, 30 - 40 psi when compressor is running.

Can someone send me a picture of the Accu in it's native habitat behind the glove box? I cant find mine or I am too blind to see it's right in front of me.

See my pics attached.

You need to test thermo fin sensor and dual pressure switch as well.
Plenty of threads here detailing how to

I'm starting to think I don't have an a/c control unit or the previous owner relocated it...

I'm going to move on to the therm fin and dual pressure sensor.

However, I did find some 20 year old Advil in mint condition next to the blower motor.

So... I figured I would move on to bigger and better things like the dual pressure switch on the drier since I couldn't find a place on my car for the A/C Control Unit. (Supposed to be behind the glove box, see pics above)

I look at the drier and see no pressure switch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( See picture)

Where can I buy a new dual pressure switch? Parts stores don't have it.

Edit:
I figured out the ACCU thing, my evaporator looks more like the 97-99 model than the 95-96 model. The 97-99 model has a different ACCU. It is the little box to the left in my pictures and not something at the bottom of the evaporator.

It looks like the separate ACCU that every talks about here would only show up in a 97-99 model configuration if my car was a non turbo. Not sure why my 96 looks more like a 97 but I will just go with it.
