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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
