Hello,

1) There is no fuse on the compressor.

2) Replace with a rebuilt complete AC Delco unit (if required)

3) See point # 2

All of this is speculation that it's the compressor as to why the system is not functioning. Fact of the matter is you have to bring it to a professional to test the system except in the case where you just might have the $10,000 machine required to service an A/C system kicking around in your garage. 9 times out of 10 A/C doesn't work because there is no pressure in the system. There is no pressure because it is leaking. It could be leaking because of a ruptured hose, punctured condensor or a leaking compressor.

Don't bother with the cheap refill kits you find at Walmart or Pepboys. Bring it to a professional and have it tested. Refrigerant is classified as a hazardous material, technicians have to have certification as it burns skin and represents a danger to the environment if released into the atmosphere.
