My A/C fan quit working and I tried to replace the capacitor first with no results. I then purchased the blower motor but it has 4 wires instead of the 3 that my old motor had. I have a black wire, yellow, and 2 browns. My old motor had black, yellow, and 1 brown. My old motor was wired into a 5/35 capacitor and had that rating on it, it was wired as yellow to spade terminal, black to circuit board labeled OF 2 and brown to capacitor. My new motor is only labeled as a 5 rating instead of 5/35. My capacitor does have 2 terminals for where the brown wire on the old motor plugged in.

My question is, can I plug both brown wires into the last part of the capacitor (oval 5/35, 370) or do I need to get a specific capacitor for the fan?

Thanks in advance for all advice.

Use the new capacitor, connect the two brown wires to the new capacitor, one wire on each side and no other wires (2 brown to capacitor only) Connect the yellow to the same place on the old capacitor (leave old capacitor in place for compressor) Connect black to where old black was connected to. Good luck, Mike
