    Driving down the road, only when the A/C is on with the blower, usually after I stop and accelerate, and occasionally just down the highway... the Ignition 2 fuse (10amp) blows.
    Blower stops and in about 15 sec the windows stop also. If I turn off A/C button, it won't blow, However it almost always blows when i leave from a stopped position.
    A/C has never been serviced as it has always ran, and still puts out cold air.
    Obvious question is help, what is going on?
    Second is do I take to the Dealer and have it trouble shot, or do I take it to the A/C guys and have them look it over?
    Where should I start looking?

    I read your post three times and it’s really hard to follow.

    It sounds like a wiring issue with the IGN No2 fuse blowing.

    Do you have rodents in your area that like to chew wiring? I’d start looking under the hood for any wiring issues.

    no rodents.
    Yea, I know I repeated myself.

    Bottom line is Ignition 2 fuse (by left knee) blows.
    Only blows when I select the A/C ON button. But not right away. If I'm driving down the highway or street and don't stop it runs for quite some time. (20-30 min) then maybe blows the CB.
    Almost always blows after I stop, release brake, and during acceleration it pops.
    Why?

    What stops working:
    Blower for the ventilation.
    Windows after about 15 seconds.

    I don't believe it is the:
    blower because I can rut it all day, (without the A/C) and it will not blow.
    A/C because it puts out cold air and doesn't sound different when activated.
    Windows because I can run them all day too.

    From what your describing it sounds like either the wiring going to the A/C compressor is shorting or the compressor clutch itself shorts out when it gets hot. I think I'd start with a visual inspection of the wiring in the engine bay, pay special attention to places where the harnesses are touching or rubbing something.
