here is one for you gurus.....
ok let me take it from the start, a couple weeks ago i had a 5v fuse blow on my handler after running a series of tests i figured out there was a problem with my low voltage...the tests i ran were simply taking of the stat and twisting red and green together fan runs, no blown fuse= fan relay fine., next i twist the yellow and red together and it blows a fuse,next step replace the fuse then i take the coil side off the contactor no blown fuse...ok simple i replace the contactor well it works for a few hours then blows another fuse.so i throw in the towel and call someone to look at it 95 dollars later he says it's the board ok board costs 149 dollars well,my old boss does lots of work for a/c companies so i got a great price on the board 65 bucks back in action right....wrong it works for a few more hours and blows the fuse again so... i can bypass all the safety switches and the cooling works fine by running 24v to the fan and the reversing valve with the board bypassed... any suggestions on what might be cause this intermittent wierdness please help ps sorry for run ons
