    A/C compressor relay

    Update: I pulled what I think was the A/C relay. Hoo-boy, the onboard computer got really upset. Bricks the car. Sheesh.

    Detailed fuse breakdown?

    fuseandrelay.com is an awesome website, but alas doesn't have the detail I was hoping for on the A/C fuses. Some of the entry descriptions are also kinda outside my vernacular - for example, one of the fuse descriptions reads "fan under the sofa", and another reads "stove logic". Hwaa?? Do...

    Which versions of the AC compressor have people had failures with?

    Where can I go looking for cheap replacement compressors for my failed 2104 i3? My compressor started rattling about 3 years ago. Dealer gave me the elsewhere-documented usurious out-of-warranty repair quote, economically totaling my car. At that point I sharply reduced compressor operation...
