Finally have my A/C working. Replaced the compressor and dryer and had it
evacuated and recharged with R-134. Working great but this morning I blew
the 10 amp fuse. Replaced it and it is working great again. Have the right
compressor and had it charged by a reputable dealer. I did have to splice
the wire for the clutch as the old one had a different connector for the
clutch but it is not rubbing against anything to ground so I don't know what
the problem is. I have considered going to a slightly larger capacity fuse
(15 amps) but wanted to check with the newsgroup first. As always all
responses are appreciated.

Don't take the "penny in the fusebox" approach to this problem.
If the correct fuse blows again... you need to find the root cause.

What is the resistance of the compressor clutch coil? Measure it...
