And $300 later, my A/C is finally working again.

Turned out to be the AC clutch coil relay.

It was getting an input voltage, but would not output.

The funny thing is that I tested this relay and was working. Didn't think of hardwiring it to see if the CC head would engage the AC clutch.

oh well. Lesson learned.

I haven't really driven mine, still waiting for the reducers from ATP. FedEx says they'll be here tomorrow. I believe the MAF housing is the only thing different between our setups at this point so I'm hoping that'll be the cure. I did go out and clear the 17535 code again this morning and then use the GIAC program on my laptop to kick it over into stock mode. Drove around and did a few errands and rechecked when I got home and the code hadn't come back, so that's a minor bonus I guess.
