Intermittent A/C Compressor engagement - 92 129 - IDEAS?

1992 129 500SL

A few weeks ago I began noticing that my A/C clutch was not engaging after starting the car. A quick restart would always restore operation. The problem has progressed and it now doesn't work more than it works...

I checked the A/C Compressor Clutch fuse.
The belt tensioner is good and there is no slippage.

What is left? The Climate control unit, some wiring and perhaps a relay or two?

Does this car have a Klima Relay?

I know my 92 400E had trouble with the wiring to a resistor related to a cooling fan that prevented the A/C clutch from engaging. Does any of that apply to this car?
