If you put foil around the wires, you have to extend the foil to the
shield to ground it. Ungrounded, the foil will do very little.
Be very careful that you don't short anything.

Yesterday I took foil and wrapped the exposed harness wiring closest to
the
motor and did the best I could to make sure that it was touching the
harness
shield. I also wrapped foil around the motor housing--just long enough
to
determine if it effective or not. As far as I could tell there was no
discernable change. Still waiting on Trane to come up with something.

Is the harness shield or anything else actually grounded?

The end of the harness connected to the control board has the shield going
to the same pin as the green ground wire. (Both connect together at the back
of the connector). At the end of the harness going to the motor the
shielding ends about 6 inches from the motor connector and is floating--that
is, connected to nothing!.I guess the next step should be-----make a
positive connection from the floating shield to a ground. What do you
think?
