I'd call the mechanic and have him look at it. I assume he stands by his work, right?

You have a short somewhere. Try disconnecting the compressor and see if the fuse still blow. Not a very good idea to be replacing a blown fuse with a higher amperage fuse.

thanks guys. Taking it back to the shop thursday for a full diagnostic. Like i mentioned b4, i'm new to this a/c issue. Never encountered this prior to the compressor install. I've also read that the coil within the compressor could be send out more amperage than it should causing the short/blown fuse, or something to that effect.
It could very well be a defective a/c compressor. You know that saying, " you get what you pay for". FML

Only electrical item on the compressor is the electric clutch. If the compressor is good a new or rebuilt clutch can be installed.

As said above most likely the clutch on it is bad and dragging

Ok. I'll look into the clutch. Is this a diy type work? I will ask my indy to quote me on labor as i will prolly purchase a clutch. I have nothing to loose at this point. i am desperate to get my a/c working. lol

Did you isolate the short? Find the short before throwing parts at it.
To replace the clutch requires a special puller. A good mechanic may be able to replace the clutch with the compressor still in the car, otherwise you'll need to evacuate the refrigerant from the system, remove the compressor, replace the clutch, re-install the compressor, evacuate the ac system and re-install the correct amount of refrigerant. Check for leaks.

Your remanufactured compressor should have a new/rebuilt clutch. You should not pay more for a defective part.

No isolation yet. Going back thurs/fri to have full diagnostic. Hope then we find the culprit. There are no leaks per mechanic. He said all pressure are fine. This sounds like a mechanic job that i most deff cannot do. lol
