1998 F-150 4x4 Air conditioning Fuse

My air conditioner fuse keeps burning out , one right after the other for about 5 or 6 fuses. Then it will not burn one for about 2 to 3 weeks , then it will repeat the process.
has anyone out there ever had this problem or know what is wrong?

Intermittant shorts to ground like this can be very hard to find.
I'd probably start by looking at the wires going down to the compressor clutch. Check to make sure they aren't rubbed through anywhere.

Talking 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.

link to recall
http://www.ford.com/en/vehicles/owne...ls/default.htm

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!!!
