    Can someone tell me where a capacitor wire would go on ac unit?
    I am trying a couple of things before I call my HVAC guy. Inside unit is working but not blowing cool air. I checked the inside air filter and it needed cleaning. Was hoping that was all the problem was. Air flow seemed to increase but still not cold air.

    Outside fan was not blowing warm air and now is not working at all. I opened the unit and noticed oil underneath the capacitor. Bought a new one but accidentally removed the brown (almost green) wire from its source on the unit. Yellow wire is all hooked up properly but there are several choices for the brown wire. I tried a couple with no luck. It is now tripping the circuit breaker. It's a very old unit so I wasn't worried about damaging it.
