Hey there all my favorite dodge folks I have a problem my 2000 dodge ram 2500 5.9L gas jobber is popping the 10 amp fuse when I jumper the plug by the a/c accumulator to check if my pump clutch is working I'm thinking I'm low on freon so I thought I'd check that first since the a/c hasn't been working since I got it. fyi the truck was running with a/c on when did the test

 

There is a short in that circuit somewhere...... Wire grounding out, or some such. Follow the harness end to end, as much as you can.... and see if something is worn thru somewhere.

 

I was kinda thinking that already thanks for the conformation

 

My Ram 1500 was doing that I pulled the AC compressor off my old dakota threw it on there and it fixed the problem something was shorted I tested it by unplugging the plug to the compressor and sticking a light With 2 wires in the plug. Then jump the pressure switch with a jump wire. It would light up the light and not blow the fuse. Plug the compressor in and pop.
