On my 07 Journey I recently had a failure of the start capacitor on the inside blower on my basement A/C unit. I replaced the capacitor with a locally obtain one of the same specifications as the original. The original failed due to some water intrusion getting into the rubber cap, corroding the wire terminals and burning out.
The new capacitor works fine and the A/C works normally.
Today, we hit some cool weather and when trying to engage the heat pump function of the A/C unit, it would not turn on. The regular LP furnace works fine, the A/C works fine, and the fan mode works fine, too. Just when the heat pump is turned on, there is nothing, neither the A/C nor the fan turn on.
I checked all the circuit breakers, they are okay. So my question is: Is there another start capacitor for the heat pump to work or am I looking at a circuit board problem?
Best Regards!
