After thinking it through some more...I pulled the housing and the capacitor. After discharging it, I found that while the compressor side would take a charge, the fan side would not. It also has a slight bulge in the bottom... Ordered a replacement which should be here Saturday, will update after that.
Also starting my search for some sort of EMS to prevent this from happening again
Good Thinking! Changing the CAP can be a good move, even if you don't suspect it. Compressor in our Coleman rooftop didn't sound right and seemed to be pulling excess Amps. Changed to a spare I carry, and it quieted and ran better. The one I pulled out tested OK on my Fluke DVOM with Capacitance.
Good on the EMS, too.
