    Forgive me for I have sinned...

    Had to do this on the weekend because I swapped trucks to get mine repaired and didn’t realize it wasn’t stocked with capacitors. Luckily I had my box of salvaged parts to get them through the weekend!

    It happens.
    My spare truck has no hardware. Had to zip tie a condenser fan motor in place till I could get a bolt.

    Better than many techs.
    They would have returned with the OEM capacitor on Monday.

    What you couldn't find a way to use that third terminal on the biggest cap, and you call yourself a tech.

    Really it just looks like a home made Turbo, creativity can be a godsend at times, good job.

    Can you imagine the look on the next sales techs face to open that panel up!
