The A/C suddenly stopped working and I found that it was the fuse. I replaced the fuse and the A/C worked for 15 minutes and blew the fuse and keeps doing that. I tried to find if it had a short but none is visible.

I have seen the ac compressor clutch shorting out causing this issue. Here is a guide to help walk you through the compressor replacement with diagrams below to show you how on your car.
