fuses blow for a short circuit
preventing Infinite current and a fire. (battery can do upto 1000 amps)
a TECH uses his ammeter to see the short.
then unplugs all loads on the feed. bingo it the X device is shorted.
if lucky and not a harness short.
we finds that with the same tool.. ask how..... if frisky.....
A/C keeps blowing the fuse after I
got it recharged. Its the R-12 system and it seemed to be ok before but
now I got it recharged and replaced the blower motor in the front and
now as soon as I turn it on it blows the fuse. I replaced the 3 fuse
black and even rewired the fuses then took off the connectors tot he
rotary switch and replaced those but it still blows the fuse. Any
suggestions?
Could I have messed something up on installing the blower motor.

You will have to check the positive wire of the wires that go to the parking and side marker lights for a short to ground.Check the easy things first like the bulbs for these lights.It could just be a shorted bulb.You can remove one at a time and see when the fuse stops blowing.You an get a short finder from a part store and save the trouble of getting a bunch of fuses.Hope this helps.Good luck.
That or the wiring to it is shorted at some point. Remove the connection at the center back of the socket and replace the fuse--if ok, replace or repair the socket. If still blows fuse, check the wire you removed for damage near any metal object.
