A few years ago my thermostats bit the dust and I installed new ones acquired from Newell. I admit that their schematic left a lot to be desired. I have been curious for some time that my rear A/C system does nothing when set to low fan. However it seems to cool fine when set to high fan (two compressors). I finally got around to checking the amps going to all four A/C capacitors. All four have 124 volts available to the control board, but the incoming amps for the rear number one compressor only draws 8 amps while all of the other three draw about 11 amps. The draw going from the control board to the number one capacitor is only 4 amps while all of the other draw about 10 amps. I am embarking on the installation of high capacity relays, and want to be sure everything is operating OK. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong would be welcome.
