" Then with your ohm meter look for resistance between the three
points of connection C-R, C-S, S-R If any one or more show open
windings, your compressor is toast. If all three ohm out showing most
any resistance, its most likely not the compressor." Paul or any one
want to comment on the second half of the above statement!!!!!!

I can get a new unit for $500.00 maybe less and I'm capable of changing it
out. I prefer to repair the present unit money wise if possible.

I think everyone who reads this post, will make a comment (out loud or to
themselves) on the second half of YOUR statement.
Another bad decision out of many bad decisions before it, no doubt? ;-)
"money wise" .... hmm. Poor people don't own campers. They use
tents. Thousands of people sew, for every one that can repair HVAC.
OR,,, since you're emotionally attached to this thing:
Take it to a local HVAC trade school/learning center/high school/
wherever, and plead your ca$e. You'll probably be kicked out after
insisting the parts don't cost THAT much and you could buy them cheaper
over the Internet. ;o)
It will also present you with the fact that NO ONE can turn you into
even just a lowly hack, let alone a real tech, over Usenet.

BLOW ME, asshole.
suggest you pull your head out of your ass and ponder "most any" and
"most likely not"
