Default A/C Problem need to locate computer on 98

guys having an ac electrical problem where the compressor doesnt turn on i found out that if i provide ground to the driver circuit on the relay the system turns on and cools, so the problem is either that the computer is not providing the ground the relay needs to engage the clutch on ckt 459 or the a/c head is not requesting to the computer that the a/c needs to turn on. I am one step away from figuring it out but i cant find the dam computer i found one under the passenger dash but that has a pink and green connector with few wires. according to the diagram i am looking for a blue and red connector with over 80+ wires. Any clue where i can find it?

Thanks,
Ralph

The computer is located in the front passenger side wheel well. Jackup your car, remove the wheel. Remove the cover you will find in the wheel well. The computer is the large silver colored device.

Default ac

ok found it no ground coming out of the computer to the relay can it be the computer or the ac head unit? what is the signal the ac head gives to the computer to activate the compressor clutch 12v or ground?
