Brian, this is exactly what is happening here with my compressor!
I'll try and jumper socket 5 and 7.
How big are chances that the relay itself is faulty versus the input parameters?

My worst scenario was getting stuck in a heavy rainstorm in near 80 ambients. Water got onto the belt.........compressor slipped.........and the Klima dumped the clutch. Now I'm sitting in a steambath...............
Pull the Klima and jump sockets 5 and 7. This provides 12V directly to the clutch.........all the time. Drive the vehicle and monitor the vent temps. If they drop down near 40 and stay there, it's time to do Klima troubleshooting..........not a fun task, but necessary.
