P0480 comes on and relay blows after turning AC on. The compressor turns on and the air blows cold and the condenser fan comes but after five minutes it will blow a relay. The fan motor is hot to the touch and noisy when it turns.
It would be a good idea to replace the fan motor. Its probably the cause of the overload that kicks out your relay which really shouldn't be happening. It should blow the fuse and probably will soon enough. The relay will also cut out when the compressor cycles which would be normal. The fan motor will get hot when running but it shouldn't be making any abnormal noises.
It sounds like the fan motor has gone south on you. Shouldn't be too horribly priced--I'd say anywhere from $50-$300.
