    I would say the contactor is stuck shut on the A/C unit.

    The contactor is inside the outdoor unit and it is really not something that an inexperienced person would change. For one thing it could be a 24 volt coil or a 240 volt coil, it could have two sets of points that open or it could have one set of points that are made all of the time to operate the crank case heater.
