AC short in wiring on #23 fuse 15amp

Does anybody have or know how to get a wiring schematic of the wiring from the fuse box to compressor and components leading to ac parts. I'm trying to find a short that keeps the compressor from coming on. Thank You

You have to identify your vehicle including year, engine, and transmission.

Is that fuse blowing?

Its a 2003 F-150 4.2 l v6---I put in a fuse and as I pushed it in and the compressor wanted to kick in but blew the fuse.

Might be a shorted WOT relay.

I've seen quite a few instances where F23 was blowing, but never before only when the A/C compressor clutch was engaging. Usually, it's been due to melted O2 sensor harnesses.

Odd one...

You can buy a copy of the Ford service DVD from some of the vendors here, or on eBay, or other places on the net, or e-mail me.
