Tried searching many times but the search doesn't allow "AC" as it is too common/short.
I wasn't sure to post this in electrical or engine.
First post but been a lurker for a long time - first issue I have had with this beast.
In a nutshell:
Problems:
So I'm stumped -
I figure the Plenum will take care of the surging - but why the hell does the AC blow a fuse every time it turns on?

First post but been a lurker for a long time - first issue I have had with this beast.
In a nutshell:
- 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9
- 66k miles (yes that is correct owned by my dad and now me)
- DODGE JEEP 52MM BORED PORTED THROTTLE BODY MAGNUM 318 5.2 360 5.9 1992-2003
( 261861377268 ) - Engine at idle surges to about 1500 - 2000 RPM at startup - figured this was a plenum issue, bought Ebay plenum and all the parts, not replaced yet as I didn't realize AC bracket was mounted to manifold
- This weekend changed out Dist, Dist internal, spark plugs, spark plug wires - note WTF did dodge put the Dist in the back that far under...
- Replaced battery as ABS was clicking after I reconnected it and it was old
- Noticed 140 amp alt fuse (fusible link) blown - due to cluster not working, AC fuse blown, and cluster gauge fuse blow - replaced all - AC fuse blows every time I turn it on, others are ok.
Problems:
- AC fuse blows every time I start it up - obviously have no AC due to that, seemed to work before
- Removing AC fuse seems to make it run better
- Seems to run pretty good (a bit of idle bumping) without AC fuse
- Still obviously surges a bit (I'm guessing plenum)
- Radio blew as well, but I haven't pulled it out assuming radio fuse that was attached (aftermarket pioneer)
So I'm stumped -
- AC worked before all this
- Battery seemed ok, putting it back on cause the clicking in either the ABS or the PCM/ECM above it - does not click now
- Don't see any shorts
- Spark plugs looks great (old ones)
- It is surging, but WAY less so without the AC fuse in there.
- Still planning to replace the plenum with the ebay steel one, just more work
I figure the Plenum will take care of the surging - but why the hell does the AC blow a fuse every time it turns on?
