Your wiring looks right, given the two RED wires are on HERM and BROWN is on FAN.
I was mistaken earlier and will correct that post in EDIT: With the Dual Capacitor, COM should have 04 wires and I had said 03. Then 05 wires if you jumpered to a single FAN Cap and I had said 04. Since there are only 04 lugs on a capacitor terminal, the extra wire could go to the terminal on the single cap that you connected the jumper to.
I've heard of OP's shooting control box trouble down to a relay and they getting a relay from an electronic supply house. Even Radio Shack might have something.
I'll go look at that Control Box page on Chris Bryant's site. Here it is Linked
Hey take a look at page 16. It talks about a mechanical on/off selector switch. It says to "The air box should still be off. The electrical box needs
to be dropped from the template and switch cover removed.
Disconnect the wiring from the switch, (be
sure to note wire location for proper replacement),"
I have no idea what they are calling the air box. As for the control box in the ceiling, there are some relays, but they are all soldered onto the board.
The AIR box is the silver galvanized housing for the Circuit Board. The "Mechanical" switch/s is actually 8 or 9 DIP switches on the board that you turn on or off depending on the configuration of the AC/Heating system. Doug
OK That's what I thought. I didn't see any dip switches on the board.
Someone mentioned about calling out a tech. I think I might have found one, but the service call fee is $75. Is that fair? I only ask because I have not be RV'ing that long so I don't know a lot.
I am wondering if it may not be worth it to have someone that is highly experienced take a look, just to make sure that the troubleshooting I did is right, so I don't order a part and have that turn out to not be the solution? What do you all think?
This person came highly recommended by an RV park down the road that has called him for nearly 20 years. He's local and they say he knows what he's doing. Just wondering what the panel here may think, or should I just get a control box and do it myself?
