What year?Never seen a relay switch- a relay, yes- a switch,yes.AC fuse is used- clutch cycle switch on accumulator is used( around 82? and up)High pressure switch-94 and up is used, field coil at ac clutch is used. As far as a relay for an aftermarket cooling fan, it will have to be added to your truck( uses a remote 12 volt power source(fused) to power fan using ac clutch input to activate- hope this helps(PS you will get more responses by giving more info about your Bronco)

There is no relay for AC clutch input(powers up field coil)Got this setup on my 31 Ford Tudor streetrod-temp probe in rad-adjustable controll(temp) switch- fan relay-with ac overide setup(cooling fan HAS to pull air through ac condensor below 30 mph) IF I had room I would have run a fan blade off of water pump-NO wires to run-always pulling air in when engine is running- Less problems. Back to your 89, you need to look at a Ford EVTM(electrical- vacuum trob. shooting man.) to find your wire in question.
