    2 speed cond fan, they start on low speed when comp starts- quick fix is to directly feed the fn off the out going side of the contactor- but fuse it for the fan

    Had that many times.

    I normally fit two auto-reset HP switches to control the fans directly.

    Ok fair enough but why is the fan not starting straight away hp switch seams ok it's a single fan condensor just strange it won't start till it gets to about 400 psi thought this fan was 1 speed

    if 4 wires on the fan plug its 2 speed,run it in heating mode and the cond coil will lightly frost for about 4 mins then the fan will start- ive even tried replacing relays on the pcb as no 240v output

    Also try moving the ambient air sensor from it's clip and push it into the coil fins.
