A/C fuse keeps blowing

So I bought my 2004 Tacoma like 3 weeks ago with 41k miles on it and the other day the wife turns on the a/c. The light on the button was on for a sec and went out along with the a/c. I checked the fuse and it indeed was blown. I replaced it and fired the a/c. Same thing, light on and light off with another blown fuse.

I guess Ill take it to the dealership and see what they say. I look forward to them saying its my compressor and cant wait to pay out the ass already after 3 weeks

 

Did you buy it from a stealer or private ? If you bought from a stealer they should fix it for nuthin. I'd check the wires first at the ac see if they are frayed or broken.

 

OK well after blowing 3 10a fuses I threw a 20 in that bitch and it ran fine. Im still gonna take it in though.

Bought it from dealership by the way

 

omg that's funny

 

Bro', what are you doing ? You NEVER change out a fuse with one of a higher amperage, . I'm not sure what the electrical specs are for amps are, but if it says 10 & you throw in a 20. You are fucking up & I don't care if "That bitch is running fine." You've got a short,an overload, you're gonna fuck up more electrical & possibly cause a fire !!!! (see previous pic)

 

Yep I took the 20 out after reading up and realizing it was a bad idea.
Thought the fire pic was funny and had to do it.

 

Did it have an after market radio in it??

If so then someone has been F#cking with the electrical.

Thats why I bought one with the factory radio.

 

Check the wires to the compressor clutch coil and pressure switch to see if maybe they are damaged. If they look ok unplug them and see if the fuse still blows.

 

Nope, factory radio

 

Yea thats what I'm going to do when I get outta work. I don't even know where the compressor is, going to have to dig.

 

The compressor and pressure switch are on the passenger side of engine just below the power steering fluid reservoir. Very easy to see the wiring and connectors.

 

Just wanted to give an update. At first the dealer thought it was just the AC compressor clutch and when they put the new one in, the compressor started smoking. So they just threw in a whole new compressor and now good to go.

Luckily they didnt charge me a cent, so I am very happy.

 

Where are the fuses? I just bought an 01 dc and the AC gets cold but I don't hear clutch engage. It's cold but not cold like I'm used to with other cars. I charged it and still blows same cool air. I hope it's not the AC compressor
