My lower coolant hose came off yesterday and caused me to get an "engine overheat" warning on the dash so I pulled over and let everything cool down and fixed the hose and add new coolant. I was almost home when it happened so not a huge deal

Well now for some reason the A/C compressor isn't working ...Checked the fuse and it is blown Tried replacing and it blows instantly as soon as I turn on the AC,. the clutch spins free so I am thinking I have a short.

Not sure if something got wet from the antifreeze or what but you would think the sensors and other things there could get wet without hurting anything.

Any ideas>?

Thanks...only place I can see that really had coolant on it would be that sensor right on the radiator beside the hose. Think if this was shorted it would cause it to.blow the compressor fuse?

Thanks for all the replies guys! I did find the issue the wires were shorting out against the compressor. Look like the bracket got bent back and rubbed the insulation off the wires eventually. Now this car was a wreck at one time which was probably the issue... when the ac lines were hooked back up nobody caught the fact that the wires and bracket were bent back. So I replaced the compressor with a used one and recharged the system and now all is ok. Thanks again for all the replies. I really appreciate it.
