Default 1990 Honda Accord CONDENSER FUSE keeps Blowing!?!

Sup fellas. I have a 1990 Honda Accord EX 5-speed.

I was driving the other day with the A/C on and all of a sudden I felt the A/C blowing not-so-cold air and also noticed the Temperature Needle shoot up to RED HOT! So I immediately turned the A/C off and pull over to the side to let the car cool off.

I checked under the hood and fuse box to find that my Condesner Fuse blew out. I replaced it and everything was fine. The A/C was blowing cold and the car was at normal temperature.

Today, I noticed the SAME thing. I checked the fuse box again only to find out that the new Fuse had blown AGAIN!

This is the 2nd time in 2 days. What could cause it to continuously burn out??

cant give you an answer for it to keep blowing out fuses but you can try getting a bigger fuse like higher output

If it keeps blowing it is quite likely that the condenser has a short. May be time for a new one.

Condensor fan may be bad, relay could be bad or the wireing could have shorted near the radiator from overheating and melting the wire and shorting it to ground.
