Todd, If memory serves me; the compressor clutch only has one wire. Twelve volts is applied to this wire to energize it. You do not need a relay. Here is a useful link: http://www.theledlight.com/ledcircuits.html While you are at it, I would also hook up LEDs to indicate the status of the high and low pressure switches. This would give you useful diagnostics information.
