yep - checked both the ovp relay and the klima - the fuse seemed okay on the ovp, and didn't notice anything unusual (melting, burnt etc.) on either. I ordered both for replacement and will see if I can get by with first the ovp and then the kilima if needed. I hunted around to see if there was any good test but didn't find much that helped. I tried bridging the 5 to 7 pin on the klima and that didn't work to start the compressor which makes me suspect it is the ovp - or worse my compressor is bad. parts should be in by wednesday - and boy do we need the a/c!
