from there you can usually judge where/what to look at next
good luck

That is a terrible way to check and not to mention illegal and bad for the environment. Easy way to see if compressor is working is:
a:Set temp to lowest setting
b: touch the big pipe coming out of (actually in) of the compressor which is the suction line. If it is cold, compressor is working. If it is ambient temp then either compressor is not working or you are short of gas. If it's cold, then you have an airflow issue from the blower motor or filter blocked; or
c: while you are under the bonnet, get someone to change the mode between and cool and heat or change the temp up and down from highest set point to lowest. You will see/hear if the clutch engages.
Sorry can't help you find where the relay is as don't have access to GC at the moment
