I have replaced the induction motor from my carrier 48gp. The guy that took it out (HVAC "freind") will now not answer the phone. I have the unit bolted in and I know where a couple of the wires go, but I need help with the others. There is a yellow, green (ground), brown, and purple coming off the fan assembly its self. I do not have any clue where the purple wire goes. Can you help??

Is it the right fan? It has a extra wire that the other did not have?

I don't know the guy that took it out has it. Is that a poss. It bolted in just fine and fir perfect

If it does have an extra wire what do I do??

Most fans have the same bolt pattern, this does not necessarily mean it is the right fan, some fans are for 2 stage gas valves thus the 3rd wire.

So I'm screwd

Does the motor have a wiring diagram label present? The brown suggests a capacitor may be required.

No I got the motor from a wholesale yard they would not give me any instructions because they do not sell to the public

I am in drywall sales so this can be a dumb question... do I have to hook all wires up?
I know dumb

Is there ANY nomenclature (brand, mfg. #, h/p, voltage, r.p.m. etc.) on the motor?

Where do you have he other color wires hooked now?

The part is from the carrier replacement parts div. The fan is bolted in so I do not have it next to me at this time

Green grounded
Yellow is hooked to a set of four prongs sitting to the right of the mother board (capacitor?)
And the brown is hooked into the mother board at the top right

Do these colors match the previous motor?

Can you post a pic of where you have the yellow going?

That's the problem the guy took the last one and like an idiot I did not take a pic before he started

My wife has the damn camera at work
All I got is a cell phone camera

Is this a package unit?

You are taking quite a gamble if you power this motor without verifying correct wiring. It could be a 2-speed motor as Josh said, or it may require a capacitor (the brown lead suggests it does). If you release the genie from the motor, you will never catch him.

As in ac and heating
