15amp A/C-heater fuse keeps blowing
so i had an issue where all the console controls for the A/C-heater-defroster-vent air stop working all of a sudden. i thought it was the AC Heater blend door actuator. i went under the steering wheel...

I can think of 3 things
1 Short circuit. the wire to the AC Compressor may have rubbed against something and worn through the insulation... Solution is a good hard look at all exposed parts of that wire (LIke near the compressor)
2: Short. Compressor clutch magnet
3: Usually A/C takes a 20 or 25 amp fuse.. Someone may have popped a 15 in there (if you are not the original owner of the car) to use as an emergency replacement.
Check the OWNER'S MANUAL or the fuse block you may find the proper size of the fuse in one or the other. DO NOT replace with a bigger fuse till you CONFIRM that the fuse in there is too small.
