2012 AC Clutch Wire Location/color

Does anyone know if there is a wire that goes to the rear to activate the AC clutch? And where can I tap into it and what color? It appears that my SAM is damaged and will not activate my radiator cooling fan. I cleared a fault that was caused when my fan locked up but the fault keeps coming back and the new fan won't come on - no power. I am installing my own circuit and want to turn on the fan when the AC clutch is engaged on my 2012 Smart Passion
I am hoping I can tap into it somewhere in the harness that is in the battery compartment, if so anyone know the color or some way to tap into it? I know I can do it with a switch, but I really would like for it to come on automatically when I turn the ac on. If anyone has a better idea how to know when the AC is on please help. I was really hoping I could find something at the SAM/Fuse Block. I bought a good Scanner (MK-808) and it does clear it, but comes right back.

Are you positive the SAM is damaged? Might be worth chasing down the actual problem rather than trying to rig up some workaround. Are there any associated OBD codes? :)
