Default New Info A/C problem
Whenever I put on the a/c the fuse blows. What would cause this?

I would unplug the 12v wire just before it gets to the compressor, then see if the fuse blows. If it does not blow then I would guess you have a clutch problem. If it still blows then you probably have a short somewhere.

Dan,
The wire goes in the the compressor, I think it is black. To find the connector just follow the wire out of the compressor and about 8 to 12 inches up the wire you will see the connector to unplug.

I did this and the fuse still blows. Where and how should I look for a short?

Can the short be under the dash by the switch?

Thinking my clutch is ok because disconnected compressor and still blows.
