Default AC condensing unit problem

Be a good idea to replace the delay timer, of course.

While replacing thermostat I have shorted out control transformer on
my AC system. I have split system and I already replaced the 24V
transformer for the fan (the unit an the attic) and got it to work.
However, the condensing unit is still not working. Here is a picture
of the electric parts on the unit:
http://e-pixel.net/AC_condensing_unit.jpg I have power 220V coming
into the unit and I have 24V now coming to
the unit from the attic fan. I was trying to follow the 24V on the
condensing unit but it goes inside the coil to the bottom (labeled on
the picture) and I can't find 24V anywhere on the unit. I checked
every other wire with the brown 24V wire and I don't have 24V
anywhere.
Can someone help me out here. What's inside the unit where the blue
24V goes to? What else could be damaged here?

Thanks in advanced for all your help,
Jack


You have a CARRIER 38ED high eff. from the 80's. The electronic board is a
"anti short - cycle" timer. Remove it from the circuit. Your unit will
light if you have 24 v from the two wires coming in. You'll have to
'by-pass' the c.b. Good luck.
