Default HELP A/C condensor fuse keeps blowing

Went to O'Reilly Auto Parts and found the a/c condensor fuse under the hood was blown. Replaced fuse and then a/c compressor clutch kicked in and I added a can of R12. It blew fuse again and we replaced 15amp fuse with a 20....went down the road and the 20 amp blew. Anyone had troubled with condensor fuses blowing??????? It's hot here and I need help with this

Look for shorts on the compressor clutch trigger wire.

My condenser fan shroud was bent somehow and the fan blade was touching the radiator.
it couldn't spin so it damaged the fan motor
I bent the shroud back out so the fan would spin freely and started the A/C back up ..
the fan would spin .. but blow fuses like MaD !

I think you have a bad fan motor.
I bought one on ebay for $30 including shipping and it looks exactly like the OEM fan motor , complete with the Green OEM style fan plug ..
quick way to test it .. un-plug your condenser fan , run the A/C , and if the fuse doesn't blow .. it's your fan motor ..
