I set myself up with the "Idiot Relay' subject - well done by me, and a top joke as well 
Now back to the subject:
JCMF, yes I did check the other side of the relay and found it had an earth wire (white/black stripe) that earthed, and a wire that goes to the S/C clutch (green w/white). At the S/C clutch there is a second wire, 1 inch long, that earths in the S/C housing.
Now, if I hook up that relay earth wire to power, when the relay closes power will go to the SC clutch which will earth by that short wire.
I did away with the relay, put its power from the loom plug direct to the SC, and then let the S/C clutch get activated (earthed) by its control wire from the ECU.
Got the engine warm, revved it up and yay !!!!!!!!!!! s/c engaged. Went for a spin, S/C works - yay !!!!!!! First time ever. Idiot grin on face to replace idiot relay.....
10 mins into drive S/C does not engage anymore - drive home, check CEL, get 22, found that the water temp sensor plug was loose and had fallen off, back on, another drive, no boost at all. Battery disconnected for a while, still no change, so I am thinking of making the S/C cabin switchable if the ECU is going to continue to not play the game.....and send the signal saying the S/C can be engaged. No CEL codes now, so I don't know what the ECU's problem is now...
