A/C problems, fuse keeps blowing...........

[jim89325is]

Just in time for summer and our first 100 degree day, the fuse for the A/C keeps blowing. Doesn't seem to matter what the fan speed, but about 30 seconds after I hit the A/C button, the fuse blows.

I'll check the Bently manual when I get home, but thought I'd ask you guys first. Looks like I have a project for the long weekend!

Make sure you have the correct amperage fuse in first. If not, then it sounds like the compressor is drawing too much current. This can point to a compressor that is actually going bad.

Run through all of the AC wiring (the push button switch, the compressor connection, and the pressure switch) to make sure you don't see any worn down wires.
