AC Compressor does not turn on 850 1996

My 1996 855T started blowing hot air yesterday. The "A/C Off" seems to work (at least the red light turns on/off) but I don't hear the compressor turn on nor do I see any effect on the tach when it should engage. The fan runs ok and the recirculate switch works ok. So the fuse is ok as well.

Anyone know where I should start looking first? Is there a relay for the compressor? Is there a clutch on the compressor?

Thanks in advance,

Eric
