Bad relay?

all my fuses in the circuit are not blown. But I still dont get power to the clutch. While looking at the schematic I noticed a "WOT relay", what is this. It is being labeled as being in the battery junction box but I dont have a listing for it so I'm not sure which one it is. It seams that power has to go through this before the fuses? or is it the fues then that. It seems that it is down stream of where I show voltage and everything after it doesn't get voltage. I mean the A/C compressor solinoid doesnt pull in so I think it is safe to say it is not getting power. Right? I stink when it comes to electrical drawings. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Help if you can. It is freekin Hot!!
Atleast does anyone know which number relay the WOT relay is since my manual does not mention it. Thanks.

Check your manual for "A/C Clutch Relay".

Do not start a new thread for the same issue, keep all related posts together.

Sorry for posting same issue on the forum twice but I couldn't get anyone to respond to the thread I previously posted reguarding my a/c clutch not engaging. I already recharging system, fuses, voltage checks, checked all pressure switches. I was sent a schematic from another member that showed a relay labeled "WOT relay" and noone to this date can tell me what that is or the relay # according to the FORD owners manual. Atleast I got some response on the second try. Wont happen again.

WOT relay shut off ac when you floor it as not to loose that power if you need it

Did you pull the connector at compressor and test for 12 volts

remove the Low presser switch and install a jumper wire to see if compressor comes on, then do the high side let us know the results.

From what I found in another forum, the WOT relay is identified in the manual as the A/C Clutch Relay......
