Checked the relay and it had a cracked bushing (about the size of 3 dimes together). Replaced that and when I plug the thing in it hums for about 10 seconds and stops, then retries after 5 minutes or so. I checked with a multimeter the "3 Prongs" on the compressor and the reading was .00 ohm on all (check each prong against a ground) I thenchecked the top prong to each of the 2 bottom prongs and the reading was .01 ohm. Any suggestions anyone ????
