Hi,

Looks like the Climatronic module and the AC pressure switch are on this fuse. If you have not replace this, I would suggest trying that first. More than likely this is shorted. Unless you have a wire that is shorted this switch is the most likely cause. A fuse blows because there is too much current on the circuit. This normally happens due to a shorted component so I would replace the switch and go from there.
