Hi Guys, a little while back maybe 200 miles ago the A/C started blowing warmish air, checked the fuse box and found the A/C clutch 10-amp fuse had blown, I have not been able to test if the clutch is the culprit or if it’s the wiring, as it’s a bit of a challenge to get to put fingers on it due to its location, I would like if possible if you could point me interest right direction, it would be mighty helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

This fuse blows when the A/C compressor clutch shorts out here is how to change the coil out or you can just replace the compressor these guides can help, and I have included instructions for your car in the images below.

Awesome, it’s actually what I thought was the issue, one more thing would it be possible to send me the removal and installation guide for the timing belt, as it is due, and I may as well tackle both projects at the same time.
