My 1995 355 had a frozen compressor so I bought a bunch of new parts from Ricambi and now the wiring is not cooperating. Here are the parts that were replaced: A/C compressor Expansion Valve Dehydrator w/switch New belts Then the system was flushed a couple of times and charged. When the STOP button is released it blows the 10 amp fuse in the trunk. There are two wires going to this fuse that must come from the STOP button and they get VERY HOT. Also, it appears that the 2 wires from the dryer look melted together. Does anyone have any ideas of what to check? Thanks, - Bill
The TX valve, drier and belts are not at fault. The two wires that are melted together are related to the fault but its not the fault either, all that switch does it allow 12VDC to travel through the binary switch as a safe guard for your compressor that you have either too much or not enough refridgerant head pressure in your air con system and that usally goes from there to your air con compressor clutch. At a stab in the dark I suspect your air con compressor coil wiring or internal coil has a dead short to ground thus blowing your fuse. Using a mulitimeter perform a continiuity check across the two wires leading to your compressor like Ernie suggested and see how you go.
