My air handler blower is working and my thrmostat is increasing in temperature. So I went out to the outside unit and the fan is not working neither is the compressor. So I went to the ac outside fuse box and pulled out the breaker and noticed a burnout out lizard stuck between the two fuses, so I cleand out the dead lizard and inserted the breakers back in the breaker and hope that it will start the unit outside again, until no avail the outside unit is not working. Can it be the fuses are burntout and needs to be replaced?

Something got fried when the lizard fried your system. Have a repairdude come and properly test and fix.

Yep, multitesters are a lifesaver. Glad you properly diagnosed the problem. My son suggested that I put in check the fuse in my answer above and I didn't. I didn't want to have you monkey around with the unit unless you knew what you were doing.
