heyas, i was driving down to the coast and half way there the aircon turned off. i think it may be the relay or a fuse, but ive check all the fuses in the kick panel and they are fine - would it be one of the fuses or relays in the engine bay? if so, where do you reckon i could get one?

Dave, check your fusible links in the engine bay at the battery terminal. You should be able to pick up a fusible link at any Auto electricians, wreckers or parts dealer. If the link is blown, you will have to unbolt it, they do not pull out! Also if it has blown, check for a reason for it blowing. If the A/C fan or Clutch is stuffed, you were probably drawing too much current, and that's why the link blew. Hope this helps a little.
regards Chuck.

i thought aircon was on the Ign circuit, not accessory circuit? or is that just the compressor clutch?
i was going to suggest that your accessory circuit fuse has probably blown.
how to check if aircon clutch is stuffed? disconnect wire going to aircon compressor - while carefully watching the pulley on the front of it, touch that wire to + on the battery - pulley should click in as you touch the battery, and out when removed.
