First of all thank you so much for your donation. If the fuse blow's every time after the a/c is on for a few min's. Then here's what I would do unplug the a/c compressor then turn the a/c on and see if the fuse still blow's after a few min's if it doesn't blow then it look's like it's the clutch. If it still's blow's it's not the clutch it's some where else.
