Re: 93 Grande Caravan, cant' find A/C compressor fuse



Same van here, same problem. The fusible link you are looking for is in
a gray wire in the harness under the windsield fluid tank.

When you fix the wire, be sure that the fan doesn't take the whole
system down again. The link burned up for a reason, probably a bad fan
because you don't have any other equipment that's messed up. If it is
hard to turn, that's probably it. Mine was the same.
