R32 GT-R A/C not cold, blowing fuse 10

When I first purchased my Oct 1991 R32 GT-R's air conditioner was great.  Although now it's blowing fuse # 10 (10 amp).  As soon as I turn on the A/C, it blows the fuse.  I followed the steps for self-diagnosis without any error messages found.

Here is the fuse that is blowing:

The major load on that fuse is the magnetic clutch for the compressor...

Any idea if I can simply replace the magnetic clutch?  I can't seem to find one anywhere (I'm in the U.S.).   Or, does the whole compressor need replacing?

Hey mate had this happen to me long time ago ended up being the
A/c electromagnetic clutch.
Had a spare
Compressor that had low
Suction an robbed the coil from it.
Before you do
Anything try pulling the plug
Off the compressor and see if it still pops the fuse as you may have a wiring short

I’m blowing the #20 AC 10A fuse at the bottom row in the middle. Does anyone know what that could be? 

There's a few things on that fuse with the highest load being the AC condenser fan. Take a look at the electrical drawings.

I traced the AC condenser fan’s wires to this green connector on the left side of the radiator and it had a sketchy looking red wire in it that looped. I’ll attach some pics so you can see. The original plug was right next to it, so I just plugged it back in. I have tried to see if it fixed the blowing issue because I don’t have anymore 10A fuses left lying around. Lol.

That is the thermoswitch connector that controls the ac(overheat) fan, not the fan motor itself. The jumper is there so the fan runs constantly. Do not put it back. What's the condition of your rad, shroud and rad fan? This may have been done to test your ac fan or alleviate overheating issues but that's a seperate issue.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
