    Hi,

    My 97 Honda Civic EX just starting blowing the 20A condenser
    a/c fuse today. I have put in two replacements which also blew
    fairly quickly. Does anyone know what could cause this ?

    Thanks,
    Lynn McGuire

    My first guesses would be an electrical short (which would blow any fuse of
    any size) or a problem with the condenser drawing too much power. Have the
    condenser checked.

    I checked all of the wiring for worn areas this morning and
    did not see anything. In fact, I am quite impressed with all
    of the wiring and wiring shields.

    Thanks,

    Took it to a local shop. The electric clutch on the compressor
    is shorting out. So, they are putting in a new a/c compressor
    (probably rebuilt) with clutch in for me. Lucky me !

    you should verify that you're getting a new compressor if you are paying
    for a new compressor.

    If they're installing a rebuilt item,they should tell you that.
