Well... that did not work as planned!

I have a question.. Front AC compressor was not kicking in.. Thus either the start cap is bad or the compressor died. Went with a start cap to begin with for obvious reasons. Installed it. Turned the unit on and the cap blew up.

I know electronics but AC units are not my expertise... However I am assuming that installing the new cap and having it literally blow means the compressor is definitely toast ... (cap blew because WAY too much power was being pulled through it trying to start the compressor).

Is this a correct assumption? And if so, anyone know where I can get a salvaged, used, cheap replacement Coleman Mach III ac unit for my RV?

Thanks for any help..
