    Capacitor wiring
    The capacitor I am replacing is a 2 spade 14 mfd. The new one is a 15 mfd with 4 spades. How do I wire 2 wires to the 4 spade capacitor?
    It belongs to a sump pump. The old capacitor blew out big time, I'm hoping replacing it will fix the problem

    I believe 2 each of the spades is one connection. You should be able to see the separation.
