2ES - A/C relay in fusebox under hood
How do you remove the a/c relay / fuse in the smaller fusebox in the engine bay?????
I can't just yank it out... I need to swap it with a spare too see if its working or not..
or how can i test it with a multimeter?

Some fuses and relays may be in there little connected homes pretty tight. Just might need some extra attention to remove them is all.
If you don't have a fuse puller, either get one or you can little by little on either side of the fuse lever it out with a number 2 flat blade screw driver...
As for the relays you can use the same technique of course. Then again just be more aggressive with them in a sense and grip as tight as you can with your thumb and probably the outer facing side(toward your thumb of course) of your clenched index finger AND PULL with a side to side movement and just repeat...
Unlike fuses where you can touch either of the open ends with a tester. You will need to pull a relay to test for such things and so on.

P.s. As for your airbag or no air bag. have you worked that out yet?
Got any pictures...?

It's too big to use the fuse puller in the internal fuse box....
Below is a link to the relay I'm referring too... it's the A/C magnetic clutch relay

Attached is a picture showing where what I'm talking about resides....
It lives in R/B 5..... The lower image shows R/B 5 with the relay / fuse box lid removed...
Hopefully that makes it clear what I'm referring too...
Air bag situation as yet not solved...
