Lets try removing the compressor clutch trigger wire and replace the fuse. Here are wiring diagrams that show how the system works below. Also I have included the fuses just in case.

You are a genius! I replace the fuse and disconnect the compressor and the problem is gone! I guess I need a new compressor.
