Ac compressor wire connection picture please if you have one at hand

[CJTsai]

I forgot to take a picture of my ac compressor wire connection as on  replacing the bad capacitor.  There are four connections in the capacitor. I cannot recall one of the connection wire in purple color. I wii appreciate very much if anyone can point out its connection position.

You really need a good pic of electrical box to properly connect. If I had to take a guess purple wire is for fan motor & goes to COM side on capacitor if it’s a dual capacitor meaning it’s got 3 places to install wiring. See if you can upload a pic. Good luck.

The purple goes on the common tab or the capacitor. Yellow on here brown on fan and red on common.

Hi folks,

Thanks for stopping by, @HVAC and @CJTsai. 

@CJTsai, thanks for reaching out to us. I want to check and see if you are still in need of any help. If so, to check for the purple thermostat wire you have, you can check for it on your HVAC control board, where the other end of the wires are connected.

Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help. 

Best,

Zoe
