My # 20 30amp Fuse would blow if my a/c would be on for over 5-10min
Then after installing another fuse, the a/c button would flicker and their would be a faint clicking sound from under the driver side dash.
For the longest time I had my a/c clutch rigged to my fog light relay so I could turn the a/c on when needed.
But its was time to fix it so I printed out a schematic for the a/c and started testing wires for pos and neg to make sure everything was getting the correct stuff.
Long story short,
I unhooked the pressure switch located on the passenger front corner and tested the two wires at the connection.
The Blk/White wire is what gives power to the switch
The Blk/red wire showed to be a ground, which is wrong-- And when I gave power to it with a power probe It would blow the breaker in the power probe, meaning there is a short.
I then ohm it out to ground and sure enough it was shorted to ground somewhere.
After searching for a good long time I finally found the short.
It is on the driver side front corner, I had to remove the cover and unhook the wire straps.
The 220k wire harness wrap had flaked away and two wires had rubbed thought the paint causing a short.

The green arrow shows where it rubbed through the paint
The red arrow shows the Black/red A/C wire that had shorted
The yellow arrow shows a yellow wire that was also shorted( I dont know what it was for hummm)
