So my damn A/c went out today. It trips the breaker immediately, even before the compressor tries to start. Even with the system turned off at the thermostat. 2 months ago I replaced the contacts and the capacitor. If I disconnect the power to the compressor the fan will run but not at normal speed. I checked resistance to the compressor and it shows 10 plus ohms on each wire combo. I don't think it's the breaker in the house as its tripped the main breaker aswell a couple times. Any other tests I could do before I get someone out here tomorrow?
I have a feeling it's the compressor shorting but I'm in denial.
