My buddy recently change his AC compressor because his old one wasn't working. After installing a civic used AC compressor it worked for couple of weeks then after that the fuse just kept on dying whenever the AC is used, i know forsure that there's a short somewhere, i haven't really look at the car yet but i need some ideas to look for the problem, i search but couldn't really find anything.

Your gonna have to hand trace the wires coming off the comp. Shorts are a pain in the *** to track down and time consuming. Did it work ok before the comp replacement? Is it fully charged also?

Yes it was working fine before the com replacement.

 

On most AC compressors theres a little harness called a rectifier bridge that has a barrel connector and the connector that connects the compressor to the ac pressure switch. Those sometimes get corroded or beat up,and can cause high resistance faults that will blow fuses.

 

Cool any more ideas guys?
