2003 chevy s10 - keeps blowing out AC fuse. Will work for a couple minutes then compressor quits working. Check the fuse, it is blown out. Put in a new fuse, works a couple minutes, then quits, fuse blown out again. AC works nice and cold but just a few minutes. Want to know if this is an existing problem or what to try before I take in and spend money on diagnosis.

A/C compressor clutch coil going bad . What is the 10amp fuse # F1.01

check the wire from the ac clutch back and look for a dead short to earth . look for pinched wire. Wire worn by drive belt etc. Any indication of where a live wire is touching earth.

my A/C fuse keeps blowing out every time i put a new one.. It blows it about 15 minutes after the new one.. What can cause this?

So what does the fuse that blows, protect?

You need a wiring diagram & start to test
the components most likely to cause a high
current draw & blown fuse.

Don't keep replacing it.

You know the fan control circuit works, but the
compressor doesn't stay on. Did you monitor
the compressor as the fuse blew?

May have a module for compressor & fan
If so one side failed
The compressor clutch could be bad

Unplug the a/c compressor, there will be a plug near the pulley. Install a new fuse. Start the vehicle and turn the a/c on. Wait about the same amount of time it took for the fuse to blow in the past. Did the cues blow? If no replace the a/c compressor, the clutch has gone bad. If yes, than the wiring between the fuse and the relay or the relay to the comps sore is grounded. A careful inspection of the wiring should reveal the problem.

check the ac blower transistor under passenger side of dash behind the blower motor. on my 2003 compressor would not cut on , front blower only operated on high an blew hot air, rear blew on all speed but only hot air. $58.00 at dealer plus tax. 15 minute fix. there is a video on youtube that documents the process. just fixed today

low 134a coolant, you may have a pin hole leak, or just need topped up on 134a. wallmart or most auto parts stores sell 134a kits. also check your rad coolant.

there are few problem with the A/C cooling system better check for A/C unit fuse weather it is blown or in good condition, check for the proper working of A/C condencer unit fan motor assembly for proper working, check for weather their is no lick of gas any where in the entire A/C unit complete system or more problem better consult or take the vehicle to nearest Hyundai authorised workshop or better take it to a well knon or experiencied person who had done this sort of problematic work.

The compressor runs off of the belt from the motor so its not likely to be the compressor but it may be the electric clutch on the compressor, or a short in the wiring, or the blower motor fan could be getting hung up. I'd buy a couple more fuses and run it for a minute a couple more times while listening for any abnormal sounds or check some of the wires you may find areas where the wires rub up against something or were accidentally damaged by any other work performed. Try running the heat and see if that trips the fuse, then run the fan on low speed, ect.

Check the fuses may be blown.
