Replaced both the fan cap and compressor cap and it's
runnin' like a
champ now. The guy at the parts place put a meter on them
and said the
fan cap was on its way out and the compressor cap was kaput.
The shape
on the compressor cap is different - this one is oval, the
old one was
cylindrical about like an old car coil. However the ratings
are the
same and it appears to work.

Apparently it doesn't matter which side the connectors get
attached
to? I.e. there's not a "pos" and "neg"? It seems to be
running fine.

One thing that makes me curious - I noticed that even with
both the
breaker for the A/C compressor on the main panel and the
exterior
breaker at the compressor turned off, when I turned on the
air
handler, the compressor relay switch still activated. I
thought if the
breakers are off, it interrupted the circuit to the
compressor and
nothing should get to any part of the unit?

Thanks again.
