My ranger's an 89, but it's relays were underneath the PDB. I had to remove the box
from the fender to allow access to the fuel pump, eec, and wot relays. Maybe check
there, if you haven't found it yet. Good luck.

Yes the WOT is supposed to cut off the AC compressor, the thinking is at WOT your looking for the most power you can get to pass or climb a hill etc so you don't need the draw on the engine, and secondly your not going to stay at WOT for a extended period of time so the AC bieng cut off won't be that long.
