Default A/C stopped working today

Got in the car to go to lunch and the A/C was not working. Was 79F in Atlanta today. I could not accept the thought of having to go to the dealer. The a/c button light would stay on for a few seconds only. After lunch it was fine and on the way home again did not work. I had a P1546 code, low voltage to compressor clutch. After some forum checking I pulled relay #34 and went to Advanced auto for a replacement. Got home, put it in and TG it now works fine. The guy at Advanced was wonderful, he told me he'd refund the relay if it did not work and offered to test the outside air sensor for me. Got lucky this time with help from the forum. Thank you

Its a great feeling to do a fix yourself and cheat the "stealership".
Congrats.
