Most American made cars do have a relay on the air conditioner. The relay is usually located underneath the hood. It could be on the fire wall, inner fender or some place on the motor. European and Asian Cars also have A/C relays. You can find them on the electrical schematic diagrams. For example, VW diesels of the mid-1980's have one on the radiator, and one in the relay panel under the dash on the left had side. Nissan Maxima's of the mid 1990's have two also, one in the relay box under the hood, and another in the row of four relays to the right of the fuse panel on the left hand side of the dash.
