tsquare17 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have a 2009 Matrix S. At start of season my AC was not making cold air. after paying the dealership a LOT of money for the first diagnosis and replacement of a condenser (which I doubt had any issue since the shop that recharged it with our tire changeover said the pressure was fine), and learning that it still wasn't working ($660 later) and telling me I needed a new compressor for another cool $1000+, I gave up on them. Latest possible diagnosis from another shop I trust more is the relay for the magnetic clutch. According to the Haynes manual, this is the M/G CLT relay in the fuse block under the hood. The only issue is that my car's fuse box has no such relay indicated. Shop suggested it might be a fusible link and not have a relay, but had no idea where it might be. No online resources I can find show where this might be. The owner's manual is useless. The Haynes book indicates the relay, but doesn't indicate where the relay is. Why is this such a secret??? Can anyone help me locate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyota Owners Club Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 If it uses the Denso relay (see link) then these fail regularly but are cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/467-Toyota-Lexus-4-Pin-Beige-Multi-Use-Relay-Denso-90987-02022-156700-2470-12V-/262755054817?epid=1628428581&hash=item3d2d6bf4e1:g:YcUAAOSwWxNYyTG1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
