electrical dilemma
suddenly, I've started to pop fuses on the circuit that runs my a/c system..it appears to be a direct short...anyone have any idea where I start to look for the short?- btw- I live in Arizona, and we've been experiencing 110 degree heat fairly consistently.

Do not worry, it is hot where I am at also.
It would help if you would tell us the vehicle in question, please.

It's hot everywhere this year. You need to give more details about your car; like year and model. Generally, check the compressor clutch. Does the fuse go when the clutch engages? The A/C system is complicated and often the best and fastest way to find the problem is to go to a repair shop that specializes in A/C repairs. I'm guessing that they have more than a few in AZ.

A trick I sometimes use with a hard to find short is to put a light bulb in series with the fuse. This limits the current to the max current of the bulb and prevents the fuse to blow.
If the bulb gives a bright light yo have a short. 70 degree F over here, no real need of an a/c in the Netherlands. Rob |
