The 30 amp fuse for the a/c compressor / fan holds about 5-10 minutes and then blows. Is the a/c compressor bad or is it possible that I have an old wire causing some kind of short somewhere??? Could it be the switch?

Has anyone out there experienced this problem? Air blows super cold, no problem with fan. Just the fuse...

Thanks!

Hi Keith,
Can't say for sure as I haven't had this problem with my iC, but they talk about a ballast (I think) on the 5'er board that blows that same 30amp fuse that operates the auxillary fan for AC on the E34's. Try a search there to see if it sounds similar or maybe someone else will chime in here.
Good luck,
JonE
