Keep Blowin Out A/C Fuse!!! Options

[Davesceli]

So basically my problem is that every time i try to turn my a/c, i blow out the 10A fuse in the fuse box, the one under the steering wheel.

Im guessing its a problem with the switch, but everytime it tries to engage the clutch on the compressor it blows out the whole climate control panel.


I thought i had a short somewhere in the cabin, but i couldn't find anything. Im all out of ideas...has anyone had this problem or know of any possible solutions??

Thanks

My Celica is doing exactly what you described but how can I tell if the compressor is bad? Spent the entire day and half the night in the TX heat trying to figure this out! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
