The OEM relay that powers my AC clutch also powers several other items and is prone to faliure due to the high loads it handles.. I want to take some of the load off of this relay by inserting a relay to power the AC clutch so that the OEM relay only energizes the new relay while I use another power source to power the AC clutch.

I think this is pretty straight forward stuff, but this is my first effort at this type of stuff.

85 to ground

86 is connected to the positive wire that comes from the OEM relay

30 goes to the battery with a large enough wire and a fuse at the battery.

87 goes to the AC compressor
