Look at fuse box relay 20 for compressor problem. Check connections to ECU for other problem.

In addition, check the fuse box for signs and smells of burning.

Relay over heated and stuck down most likely.

Whilst you're in there listen to DATATEK and have a good look and smell around the fusebox. You might be lucky and have had a gentle warning that the board is starting to fail, after all, why would the relay overheat, bad contacts in the board?

Or bad contacts in the relay that stick together. Relays get warm especially if the commutator or brushes are not at their best in the motor it is supplying. This weakens the return spring leaf. Bad contacts with a motor drawing high current can cause the contacts to fuse together.
