Interesting results from switching. For future reference, you cannot switch the connectors that connect between the control panel and the capacitors because one is female and one male. I had to cut and splice using bullet connectors.
Before the switch, nothing ran with the thermostat set on low, but on high, compressor one drew 4.5 amps and number two drew 7.2 amps. After the switch, and on low, compressor one drew 7.7 amps, compressor two drew 0.0 amps and the fan ran on low speed. When set to high, the fan ran faster, as it should, and compressor one drew 7.5 amps and compressor two 4.3 to 4.7 amps. If I am not mistaken, which I frequently am, both compressor work correctly when switched, thus the problem may be in the thermostat, but more likely in the control panel. Please comment. I think I will leave them reversed when I next install the heavy duty relays.
The outside temp was 77, inside the coach was 61 after about 30 minutes running the back air and the temp of the air from the A/C was 58 degrees. I do not necessarily trust these readings.
