it works for a few seconds then shuts off. what would a relay have to do with that?

Usually the AC light flashing means the ECU isn't getting an RPM signal from the compressor.

Leaving the amplifier unplugged could definitely cause that.

However, if the compressor is kicking on and you're getting cold air I would think the amplifier would be plugged in.

If it is, take a look at the wiring for the RPM sensor on the compressor.
If that looks good you probably have a bad sensor. It can be replaced separate from the compressor.
