Blowing fuse 1 when turn on ac
 

Please help...

I have a 1988 TE Mercedes and have changed the compressor, Everytime I turn it on it blows the fuse on "1" which is the "glove box lamp...etc.",
Also, my ac turns off after 5 to 10 mins... Are these two problems related at all...
To make things more confusing, is the items listed for the fuse is up and running...

You didn't say if you replaced the clutch along with the compressor. Either way I would check and rule out a shorted electromagnet that engages the compressor clutch. I have seen this problem many times and it's sometimes confusing to diagnois.

Hi Ben:

Did you resolve your problem? I just started to have that same problem. My A/C blower would shut off for a split second and then my radio would shut off.

That is the signal that my fuse #1 was blown. I have been through a couple of boxes of fuses and it is starting to annoy me.

Please let me know if you resolve this problem and I will likewise let you know too!

Aloha,
Eric
