Right, when I do my VE swap, I'm planning to add an Airconditioner.

Few questions.

What type of relay do I need for the AIR CON, in the box next to the battery?

Will the relay engage when it (and only it, not the compressor/coolant-lines, etc) is connected to the harness, and when I press the A/C switch on my HVAC controls? So I can test if it's working?

Lastly, and a bit off topic, what's up with the relays marked PTC HEATER/RAD FAN 2 and INHIBIT? I understand the RAD FAN 2, but the others? Because, depending on how the lid is placed, I miss either the AIR CON or the INHIBIT connector...

Thanks for reading!

iirc the relay won't be powered at all unless the pressure switch provides a link to ground. Must have refrigerant for the relay to get power. You could always just jump that part of the harness though, and test it that way.
