>>between compressor and the solenoid........Carburetor Idle Stop Solenoid.<<
What is EDB 8059?

Not knowing what you have, aftermarket or OEM AC System, the compressor clutch circuit was probably not designed to handle an additional solenoid.

Power your "Carburetor Idle Stop Solenoid" with a relay powered from a dedicated 12V source (fused). Using the clutch circuit to trigger the relay would only require about 50 millamps.
