Root cause determined
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
the reason that the #5 fuse kept blowing is because the "speed control deactivator Switch" was over heating.
There is currently a recall on this for safety reasons , b/c in some cases the fuse would not blow and it would melt the brake fluid reservoir and cause fires.

I disconnected the switch and used electrical tape to tape off both ends and secured the wire in a safe out of the way place using a cable tie. I then replaced the #5 fuse (which controls the cruise control and the a/c) and took it for a ride , and i am glad to report that the Fuse no longer blows!!
My ford dealer said it would be a couple of months before the parts for the permanent fix would be available.
I finally get to use my A/c again , which means alot being i am in Louisiana and its the middle of the summer (temp 98 - 102) Whew!!!
