Ok, this is on an older outside condenser fan motor unit. I have replaced the old motor and capacitor.
Everything on my unit turns on, just shortly after 10-20 seconds of operation it shuts down. Im not 100% sure on the wiring because the diagram had a huge hole in it. It was originally a three wire set up with faded colors - the new motor came with 2 brown that are hooked up to the capacitor and a black and white (which I have hooked up to black and red terminals after the switch that I believe activates the outside unit. Also the direction of the motor is blowing the correct direction. I have a multimeter but I'm not a tech or anything so I'm not able to tell if its getting enough electricity or too much. I've tried a few different ways to wire it and its been either non functional at the start, or runs for 20 sec. and stops.
Any help would be appreciated!
