Well its not "Open windings/Open internal overload" or "Shorted windings."
I was going to test for "Contactor not pulling in/ Contactor Failure" but I have no idea what "Y" is in this context since there is no "Y" label to be found. The top of the compressor says "S" "C" and "R" The closest thing to a "Y" any where I can tell is a yellow wire going between the relay and capacitors.
Here is the top of the compressor for reference.

In any case I don't think its the compressor, I think power isn't getting to the compressor for some reason despite the fan still functioning.
I got a replacement relay but its a 'universal replacement' with extra spots so I'm not sure if I have it connected right. The only info I had to go on is on the old relay spots marked "1" "2" and "5" so I connected the wires to the parts on the new relay marked "T1" "T2" and "T5."
There are also a "T4" and "T6" on the new relay which are "Common Park Terminals" per the included diagram.
