Not necessarily. It can blow because the circuit was overloaded and pulling too much current. That would cause the fuse to overheat and blow.

What blows ignition fuse?
A blowing fuse is an indication that there is a short circuit condition in that circuit. A short circuit condition is the result of a "hot" wire or component in a circuit coming into contact with another wire or component which is "grounded." Grounded means that a metallic component is somewhere connected to the ground post [terminal] on the battery.
Why does my 1995 mercury villager blows 10 amp fuse?
A circuit that keeps blowing a fuse, is caused by a Short in that circuit, loose connections causing arching, overloaded circuit, or a fuse that is too small for the circuit load. Do not install a fuse bigger than the circuit was designed to handle. Someone may have install too small a fuse. Check fuse list and see if the proper fuse is installed.
What devices shut down immediately if a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker shuts down and can be reset. (A fuse does not "shutdown", it fails, or blows, or breaks and cannot be reused.)
Why does a fuse blow?

this is because you have a short in either the the ac circuit or the fan/blower circuit. You'll know know which one by turning the fan on without the ac, and if it doesn't blow the fuse then you know it's the ac circuit.
