    I think i found the problem
    The wire from fan/condensor is badly exposed. I think that is why fuse is blowing
    I ordered 14/2 awg marine wire to replace oem, hopefully it will be easy to get to the other end of this wire, who knows where it goes, backbox under bed? 20200802_193900.jpg 20200802_193907.jpg

    problem solved
    Just in case someone else got the same problen ....
    The fuse 7.5A is for the ac compressor clutch
    And the cable/wire right on the entrance of the cluch was peel and making contact with ground ... attached pictures ....
    Solved by installing heat shrink tubing
    Now the 20200820_173436.jpg 20200820_173358.jpg fuse 7.5A is back and working good for the past week

    Bingo: Thanks for the help. That was the same problem I've been having. Mine also is a '06 TK. On mine the insulation on the wire had rubbed off where there is a metal hoop wire holder to support the wire. Kind of where you have the zip tie. But a little father back. Mine doesn't have the tubing around it like yours has. I put some electrical tape on it and it works fine. I'll slip a piece of rubber tubing over it once I get home. I had this problem for about a week. Just booked a load to Springfield, MO so I could Dales to look at it. Should have looked here first. Thanks again
