  No input on these kickstart devices? Are they any good, or can they cause harm to the system in
  the long run? I checked it out and the brand is Kickstart, model KZ-RE-357. Anybody else use
  these?

  Haha, no worries. So did you get the mirrored finish, or is that just the regular clear finish?
  Have you noticed any blurryness or anything that makes it harder to see out of? Any notice on
  the temper...

  Well, here's an update for those that care. Found out that I actually had a home warranty that
  came with our house purchase for free. And they cover A/c repair (minus a $55 service fee). So
  I just cal...

  Thanks allot for the answer. Yeah, I'm missing the blower because it's up in the attic and I

  Okay cool, I'll be checking it tomorrow then. I'll check the compressor wires while I'm in
  there too. I haven't really seen much of a pattern to it, except that it seems to kick on
  everytime in the ev...

  Yeah, I remember seeing a covered box that was attached to the compressor. I couldn't figure
  out how to crack it open, but I"ll have to try again. Were you asking if the compressor casing

  Cool, thanks for the help. I'll go recheck all the connections hopefully tomorrow, and probably
  just redo them all. Yeah, I have a voltmeter, please just let me know what connections to check

  Is the contactor the big black box in the last picture with all the terminals, that has like 6

  loose. I ...

  Well I took some pictures of my system, hopefully that helps. First picture is the tag on the
  outside of my A/C unit. Second one is of the compressor motor label. And third is of the Fan
  motor label. ...
