Mines a 93 but the relays for it are located under the hood on the passenger side behind the front tire, they are gray in color. You may be low on freon. You can test this buy shorting the wires going to the sensor with a bent paper clip (only short it for a second with the AC on to see if the clutch engages). The wiring on mine has been altered but it's located where the arrow is pointing:

The relays, I think there should be 2 ( mine only has 1, but all the wiring has been altered) are at the number 1:

This just happenned to me and it turned out the freon leaked out via a leaking front shaft seal on my compressor. Get a gauge and check for freon, I went on EBay and bought one for $115 from Jensen auto. They were very knowledgeable.

I believe it was a quick and cheap fix, so as to have AC, for a fault in one of the control units. Right now I'm thinking the fault is in the electronic ac controller, but it could be in the ECM. That's all been put on the back burner till I get all this other stuff out of the way.
