So I bought a car was looking around and noticed the A/C didn't work. The Freon charge is good on it notice the condenser fan fuse underneath the hood was blown. replaced it started the car and the fan kicked on and the collection gauge but then immediately blew the fuse again. I don't see any visibly worn wires. I disconnected the fan relay tried and it did not blow the fuse. So I plugged it back in and disconnected the clutch relay and again it did not blow the fuse... So now I'm kind of at a loss of what to do next. please help.

Good morning,

I attached a diagram for you to view.

Disconnect the fan motor and see if the fuse still blows.

If it does, we have a wiring issue. If it does not the fan motor is drawing too much current.

I attached the cooling fan motor replacement if it is the fan motor.
