@Kevin
I happen to have given this stuff a full check 2day. The beast is a 1997 2.5 V6 Estate model. With manual heater. The fuse that blows is F15 20A that controls the instrumention lights & other controls. One auto electrician I initially gave the car to, wrongly replaced 30A fuse instead of 2OA, hence the wrong statistics earlier. After a thorough check 2day, it is F15.
The car runs well without switching on A/C but as soon as the A/C is switched on, the Fuse blows within 1 minute and the dashboard goes blank. The engine will still run but like a generator without load
Thanks

hey Guys, the stuff is finally sorted out. The wires to the compressor got fused together inside the cable housing, maybe as a result of the old compressor that was defective. It was so hiding that it will be the last thing to come to your mind to have it checked.
Thanks all.
