So make a close up of the pins/wires and post numbers you got - remember I asked for that because it can be used identify which wire/pin is which. You already got all the parts you need you just have to wire them - I got it pretty much worked out the only problem was identifying pins/wires, but you already did that (but didn't post the thing I needed yet)

I got some doubts about the starting relay too - there are two options and I'd need a close up pic to tell which connector should be connected to which pin/wire (one is for the start wiring and the other is for run wiring - haven't used this type for a while but I know you can tell which is which if you analyse it)

Sorry for the late reply. Here's some more photos.

You still have to measure resistance to know which pin/wire is which.
I used your multimeter method, and the sum of the 2 small numbers (4 and 8 ) equalled the large number ( 12)
Use this to find out which pin is which (which is run,start and common pin/wire)
4ohm is between run and common
8ohm is between start and common
12ohm is between run and start
(it's that round thing with 3 pins on my diagram)


Do you understand instructions?

Yep, thanks for helping me. I'll connect the whole thing together right now.

So does it work ?? it should assuming you properly identified windings

Ohh and it's obvious, but I'll write it anyway... make sure you put all the wiring in some sort of box to hide all the wires, connectors, switch, etc. and use power cord with grounding and ground the compressor body (there's probably a place where you can put a bolt and nut to secure the grounding wire in place).
