Turn the key on, turn the AC on and see if the fuse still fails. leave it sit for about fifteen to twenty minutes. If it fails then you have a wiring issue to the compressor. If it does not, then the ac compressor clutch is causing the high current draw and the compressor needs to be replaced.

What causes an AC compressor to not engage?
If the clutch doesn’t engage, the problem could be a blown fuse, an open in the wire to the clutch coil, a bad clutch coil, a poor ground, or a low pressure lockout. AC compressor clutches receive power in a number of ways. They can activate through a relay that’s energized directly by a proper condition of the low and high pressure switches.
How is the compressor clutch relay turned on and off?
In some vehicles the compressor clutch relay is turned on and off by the low pressure switch and the evaporator temperature sensor. In a computer controlled system, the compressor clutch relay is grounded by the computer. If the fuse is good, disconnect the electrical connector from the compressor clutch coil.
