The fan next to the compressor was making noise, so I disconnected the fan to tighten the screws. When I did the ground on the fan motor touched the hot plug wire causing a spark. The compressor would not work anymore. I replaced the starter relay, but it didn't work. Could it have taken out the capacitor also or cooked the compressor?

Help:confused:

You shorted the input voltage to the compressor and fan motor, compressor probably ok. If no fans running, you may have damaged the cold control AP2061705
