Default Air conditioning help Disco I

Hey guys, need a little help here. My air conditioning isn't working in my disco. I have no power to the compressor clutch. If I jump from battery to the compressor coil it works and blows Ice cold, but I can't find an accurate wiring diagram or the location of the relay that controls the compressor. Can anyone out there give a guy a hand??

Have you downloaded the RAVE (see D1 Tech Section if not)? It has the electrical schematic for the AC compressor system, along with locations and photographs of most components.

the control switch on th dash you use to turn it on and increase and lower ac power. the metal connections inside had rusted and the AC did not work at all. we sanded the connections down and re-established contact. it's shaky but the ac itself works great.

I can't download the manual because I don't have a disc burner on my computer.. Any other ideas on the wiring diagram or location of the relay? If I knew where the relay was located I could check to make sure voltage is comng in and going out of the relay. As for the switch I tried to pull it out and I can't get the climate control out to check the switch.
