i am appreciating the help...
without disconnecting brown wire from the silver RUN capacitor, can i still just run the AC and feel compressor tubes for heat/cold and determine something?
if so, from my pics, where should i put my hand on compressor or its tubes?
in the caps pic, what is the black thing in the upper left?
since the the blower fan works on hi and lo, is the black COMP/START capacitor w/ the red and white wire the more likely cap to be the prob if compressor is not right?
if i short the red and white wires atop the black capacitor w/ a plastic handle screwdriver, will it melt the wire connectors to te capacitor terminals?
also i am wondering what behavior would tend to indicate a control panel issue?
