A mechanic friend of mine managed to get my old dried out ac working again last night, filled it up, and it ran well for a while, then blew the condenser fan fuse, stopping the AC. after running through some tests of his, he decided that the fan itself was bad and told me that while I look for a new fan, I could unplug it and run the AC anyway. Well I tried that, and it blew the fuse again. Then i tried jumping the connector that would be connected to the fan normally and that combination blew the fuse as soon as I turned on the AC. I tried it again with the fan connected again and it blew the fuse as soon as I turned on the AC. Yep, I changed the fuses every time, went through almost a whole pack.
ideas?
thanks
