a/c clutch not engageing,blows fuse

[davidmullins]

I am new to this forum,and would like to say hi.I have a 2000 lincoln ls with 114000 miles but runs like new.Already replaced all coils,valve cover gaskets and plugs.I am currently haveing problems with the a/c clutch not engageing due to a blown 10amp fuse under the hood.I can replace the fuse and it will work for awhile then stop again due to the fuse blowing.Have looked for the obvious worn wires against metal,but no luck.Anyone else seen this problem.

un plug the a/c compressor at the coil and see if the fuse still blows. If not then you need a clutch coil for the compressor.

What he said. ^ Probably needs a new clutch.
