I cannot escape it: doggone fuse #12 200 1993

keeps blowing out. This time it is NOT the power wire on the compressor grounding out, in that this time of year I am not running the a/c (switch is off).

Help on trouble shooting? Good places to check?

Thanks.

It WAS the wire on the compressor again. It had wiggled forward and was brushing the back of the pulley grounding out. It turns out when my son told me it was burning out, I did not know he had the a/c switch on for defrost.

I zip tied the wire back away from the pulley and replaced the fuse. Solved.

Thanks.

I just worked on my daughter's new 93 Saturday. She bought it from a used car dealer who prepped the car with a new AC compressor. We noticed the wire on the compressor clutch was a bit shorter than I expect them to be, so its plug and socket where it mates with the car harness was not secured anywhere because it would not reach back to where Volvo's cable clamp for the connector is.

We moved it by adding a clamp at the top of the aluminum bracket under the power steering pump, before it got into trouble. Drilled a small hole for a self tapper into the top of the bracket and used a plastic cable clamp there.

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Hope the Blower Motor is as good as that new compressor Art! Good luck.

I'll ask the obvious. Do you have the windshield defrost on?
And what else is on that fuse circuit?

Pull the blu-yel wires on the right side. Use a multimeter between the left side and the individual blu-yel wires of the right side to detect current draw.
