it did this before and changed one on the relays and it started than it did it again and replaced connector and it started. now replaced other relay but does same thing


If this model has a ballast resistor in series with the coil, the resistor is now open circuit.

You can test this by putting a jumper wire across the resistor terminals to see if it then runs in the normal position.

Don't use it like that for any length of time though or you will burn out the coil - my suggestion is for testing purposes only.

If it runs with the jumper wire in position, you need a new ballast resistor.
