i would i just dont know how long is sufficient..i had a 15 amper in for 5 days before it blew so if i left it in for 2 weeks it should blow but if it doesnt then i am still not sure.. if it were a wire before the compressor and i had the compressor unplugged would it still blow it? i checked the compressor and it had 5 ohms of resistance.

Check all the harness connections first. If you don't see any burnt or melted wiring or connectors then you might have a problem at the fuse box under the hood.
Some 2003's have some issues with Corrosion Shorting leads under the fuse box... I don't have enough time to search for the thread for you but there is a DIY Fix thread on here somewhere.

Unplug wires, see if it fuse still blows. Do not use a higher amperage fuse, this can cause major issues. If it blows, most likely in the wiring. If not could be in the clutch itself.
Have you had the freon level checked/tested? Make sure it has proper amount.
Found this on Internet, maybe help as well. Do so at your own risk as I have never tried this.
check the low pressure cut off switch. Unplug the two wire connector and jump the two terminals inside the connector. If the A/C compressor kicks on, then the problem is a low refrigerant charge. if it still blew you have to change your A/C clutch.

also completely unrelated but on the same truck.. my radio turns on plays music for a few seconds to minutes and then the sound just shuts off radio looks as if it is still functioning properly and all just no sound.. but everytime i turn the truck on after having it turned off for several hours. it will work.for a couple seconds to a minute or 2. i have changed radios but that wasnt it.. took off my dash to get access to the factory amp and then found out you cant get the amp anymore and the only aftermarket one i can find that will plug in is almost 300 dollars ,, and ideas or has anyone seen this issue resolved? again thanks.
