Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly

Fuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating that can result in damage to the insulation and the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure.

When a fuse and replacement fuses blow, especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.

The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she is doing, to troubleshoot the circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or circuit breaker]. Some ignorant few will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only amplify the problem, not solve it.

Do not follow "bad" advice and install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire.

How cold shuld a 1994 acura integra ac blow r134a?

A 1994 Acura Integra using R134a refrigerant should ideally blow air at temperatures between 38°F to 45°F (3°C to 7°C) from the vents when the air conditioning system is functioning properly. If the air temperature is significantly warmer than this range, it may indicate low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or other issues within the AC system. Regular maintenance and checks can help ensure optimal performance.
