compressor nightmare

[kev_7680]

If you look at the picture I don't see a old relay.....all I see is one plug going into compressor no box just 1 plug

The old relay is the plastic piece directly above the green tag on the right upper corner .

Just follow the wire to the circle of the left side of the picture and unplug it...

Ok I guess I was explaining wrong but that circle is what I meant...ok take it off and use what wire is left attached and use 3-1....

Yes there should be two connections slots on the circle ( start / overload) plug the 2 wires from the new 3 to 1 into it.  The remaining wires are your power to the relay, ground, etc.

       The problem is your picture, it's too small to identify your style compressor. 
If you have the early model 39 I believe they were different, does that thermostat and relay share the same box?
But if so, how did you install your t/s?  Anyhow, the 3 in 1 would still need to be mounted directly to the side of the compressor but you will not use those slip-on terminals, rather you will need to cut them off and install ring terminals
then wire them in the same order as shown in the video.

Every time I tried putting photo on it said it was to big. That's my problem there is no box just a 2 wire plug straight to side of compressor. I'm going to try and pull plug and re take photo before I cut..the stat ran to junk ion box with compressor fan

Sorry for all the posts but i don't want to cut something i shouldn't. Lets see if this helps me i made a video of my compressor to try and show what i think should be cut...thanks again kevin

I was having the hard time with the picture I was assuming it was slip on type like many compressors!

So what I was saying on video correct. Cut circle peace off near compressor not black box on bottom

[kev_7680]

ok this is what i found when i pulled cap off........is the plastic box on bottom what i am to eliminate? not the plug
