    Lenox AC Unit Outside, CLICKS
    For some reason last night, We notice it wasn't very cool in the house. So I ran downstairs to see if the AC was on.. The Unit in the house was working and blowing air, just not cool air
    So I went outside.. The "Compressor Unit?" outside was off... Just last year I had the capacitor fry out and replaced.. All the wiring was replaced as well! But I didn't smell anything this time.. So I check the fuses in the house panal and outside near the AC unit.. All looked OK..

    I told the wife to go in and lower the temp on thermostat to see if the unti would kick on..
    When shoe go to the right setting the blower kicked on but all the unit outside did was a Pretty Loud to medium - "CLICK" but nothing...

    Any Ideas
    Thank you so much!

    I would revisit the wiring and other components in the outside unit. The click you here is the contactor for the outside unit. Since all the fuses are OK it is probably a wiring/component problem in the outside unit.
