electrical short in A/C

I have a short circuit that blows my A/C fuse whenever i replace it. Any ideas on where the short might be located? I am not really sure on how I would even begin looking for the short.

All I can really say is that nothing is shorted near the compressor.

Any advice on finding shorts would be most helpful.

(Yes, I've said "short" quite a few times now)

ok first unplug the compressor and replace the fuse....if it dosent blow the comp.clutch is bad.if it blows,unplug the throttle solenoid...if fuse dont blow thats bad,if it still blows,un-plug the ac compressor relay...if fuse dont blow its bad...,etc,etc you might use some fuses but you can find the problem that way unless theres a wire shorted somewhere.
