I was driving home from work and my A/C fuse blew. I replaced it and it blew again in 5 seconds. Any ideas on where to begin? Anyone else have this happen?
Thanks!

My two cents: Take your truck to a reputable garage and have them test your compressor resistance. It's probably getting ready to take a puke on you and electrical resistance is building in it tripping the fuse. If it is the compressor, you're probalby lookin at around $950 for a new one installed. Those compressors are salty when they go!!! Good luck to you. I hope it's something easier (and cheaper) to correct

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd tend to agree with you on the compressor. I unhooked the compressor clutch (electrically), put yet another fuse in, ran the A/C, then hooked back up the compressor and it seems to be working at the moment. My guess is that it will blow again any time, but I only use the A/C when it rains since I've got the soft top. If it is expensive to fix I'll probably just live without A/C.

Was it raining when it blew??? The only 2 time I've killed the AC fuse was 1 after a deep water crossing. Turned the AC back on and pop... and 2nd after washing the front grill area out (dam mud get every where). What I found was water was getting in to the electric plug for the fan = dead fuse.

It was raining! Maybe I'll try some dielectric grease in that connection.
