It should. It's a 10 amp fuse in the box down by the clutch pedal titled "rear wiper". Even if you dont have a rear wiper, this fuse is needed for the climate control circuit. Most people with this problem seem to have been able to just replace the fuse and all is good, but it just keeps blowing on mine. Hopefully yours is a one-and-done fix.

If the fuse blows with all the components unplugged, then that is pointing towards a wire short somewhere. You will have to get out a volt/ohm meter now and check each current-carrying wire for resistance to ground, figure out the offending wire, trace it back to where ever it is grounding, and repair it. This is a tedious process.
Considering the nature of some owners of FD's (or shops) to hack into the wire harness for whatever reason along with related abysmally poor wiring skill , I suspect that the problem is likely human-caused rather than a completely vehicle-only problem.

jza80, thanks! It wasnt what i was hoping to hear, but kind of what i was afraid of. Was really hoping for a "oh just replace component x that usually causes this" type of answer lol.

Hi Buddy! I Know this was decades ago but I have this same problem and its not the rear wiper fuse etc. when you say "re soldering the circuits attached to the controls." what circuits did you do exactly?
I'm on Lockdown due to COVID 19 so I'm trying to finally sort this Climate Control out once and for all ha.
Any advice would be great,
Cheers.
