Default AC Compressor not Starting

Carrier appx. 4 ton, 10 years old.

Contactor pulls in, voltage ok on the load side, zero current. Didn't check at the moment of closing but w/in 10 seconds. No sound whatsoever of compressor-like noises.

Start windings @ 2.8 ohm, run winding @ 0.7 ohm, start-run @ 3.3 ohms.

Removed cap wires, discharged, DVM reads 3.5 M, reverse leads, open. Reverse again and open. Discharge cap and the process repeats.

No alarm annunciated on the control board.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
