Default 02 altima ac problem

I have a 02 Altima 2.5 and twice had a dead battery for no apparent reason. Second time after jump starting the car I noticed that one of the AC lines was frosting up as if the AC was on. I turned the car off and disconnected the battery ground cable and notice a relay clicking every time I touched the cable to the negative post. The AC compressor seemed to be engaged when I started the car and I disconnected the compressor electrical connector and I have not had a dead battery since. Where would the relay for the AC be located that might cause the problem? Would a stuck relay even cause this? Thanks for any info that might help

Yes, a stuck relay will drain the battery. Here is a diagram for the fuse box on a 2002 Altima that is located near your radiator reservoir. The A/C Relay is under lined in red.
