a little more info please
Fan speed at idle is? 5?
does the compressor cycle on and off at the same time a fuse blows
Which fuse is going?
is the ac blowing fine and cold- 40 degrees out the vents?
there is a problem with the wires and connector to fan motor- high fan speed seems to be a part of it, but the end result is fried connector, loose wires etc
all will pop a fuse
Take a look under edge of glovebox and see if the connector looks bad
Acura makes an update kit for $20 with longer wires and new plastic connections
You splice it in.
had prob on my honda motorcycle with very similar looking connector~
may have to remove cabin air filter (easy DIY) and the blower motor and mount come out after that,,its just a a few bolts and screws.
resistor is there too and is often damaged in wire failure
thats a start- let us know on the details
cabin air filter is a once a year replacement, and most were never done in several years!
30 minutes at a casual pace- dealer gets 1 hour plus for it!!
new filters come 2 in pack -just as needed-= under 20 bucks with various treatments added at parts stores
I like Bosch microallergen- others prefer charcoal added for odor control
