Hello there, where is the air-con relay located? On my old bongo I used to get a click and the air-con would start but on my new one I don't and the air-con clutch doesn't engage. I have turned the pump with a 10mm socket and it isn't seized.
The led light on the facia for the air-con comes on so I don't think it's the fuse?

There's a pressure switch, so if the system is full enough it won't click in.
It may be empty because there's a problem somewhere or it might just need a re-gas.

On mine ('96 2.5 diesel 4wd) there is a bottle at the very front of the engine bay, slightly to your right if you're looking from the front. In the top of this bottle is the pressyre switch. With the engine running disconnect it and short out the connectors very briefly with a straightened paper clip or similar. If you hear the compressor click in then a regas will solve the problem - it did for me! Though I guess you could have a faulty pressure switch.......
