Hello Eric, I’ve been watching your videos along with South Main Auto, Pine Hollow, New Level, Weber State College, Diagnose Dan, and more. Every one different and every one excellent! Me? I’m just a 66 yr old DIY’er who loves to help people in need to get things working. Currently, a friend who has health issues and needs the A/C to work here in Phoenix has a 2008 Saturn Outlook XE 3.6L which blows the A/C clutch 10 amp fuse each try. From all my research, I’ll be testing the A/C clutch coil resistance (4 to 5 ohms?) and the A/C diode. My reading of forums strongly suggests the diode. I wanted to test it but it is not found in the main under-hood fuse block. It might be in the harness somewhere but no luck finding any wiring diagrams which show the location of the diode in this vehicle. Can you please help me find this diode? Any suggestion will be most welcome. THANK you!

Easy way to check it: Multimeter on the fuse and another lead on the power side of the connector of A/C.
Put the multimeter in continuity mode. It should only give continuity in one direction, meaning that if you change the leads it can’t flow.Pratical Example: Red lead on fuse and black on AC it will give continuity. Other way around it should not do it.
Does the AC have pressure?… can’t tell how many times I saw fuses blowing due to AC Compressor trying to compress what it doesn’t have…
