No never put a higher amp fuse then its suppose to have older or not.There is a short in the wire to the ac compressor or a bad ac clutch/compressor.With the engine turned off does the center of the ac compressor turn freely?Also look at the wire running along the side of the ac compressor is it grounded out somewhere to the ac compressor?I have seen some like that.
