Hello, it might be a bad A/C compressor clutch diode, The diode is responsible for the transient high voltage spike that occurs when the clutch is turned off. When the clutch turns off the magnetic field collapses and induces a very high voltage spike in the opposite direction. I'll post a diagram of the diode so you can see where it is and the idea behind it.
In the diagram below, you can see when the A/C Clutch relay is turned off it opens and power is taken away from the Compressor Clutch, any coil of wire will produce a magnetic field, some more than others depending on their design. But the A/C compressor clutch is a strong heavy magnet, it has to be to hold the A/C clutch into the compressor making it turn. But when it's turned off, there is a huge voltage spike, sometimes into the hundreds of volts. The A/C compressor clutch diode shunts this high voltage to ground as it dissipates around the clutch windings. So, replace the diode and also replace the AC clutch relay as well. I'm not sure if you're having the Fuse 49 or Fuse 47, but the relay has a coil of wire in it too and can cause the same voltage spike if the resistor inside the relay has failed.
In the 2nd diagram you notice there is a resistor inside the relay, this is to help suppress the voltage spike from the relay turning off, same idea. So, replacing both should take care of the issues.
If it keeps popping the fuse the circuit will have to be checked for a short to ground. Somewhere from that fuse panel to the compressor, checking the harness at any contact points would be a good idea as well.
