I swear to God I kept the one that I ordered and then did not need for five years, and just got rid of it six months ago, dammit Murphy’s Law I could’ve given it to you 😂

That's likely to be expensive. Here's some additional information

Thanks I’ll take a look. The compressor runs. Everything works as it should just no cold air on shore..

Are both condenser fans running?

I’m going to check this.

It can be difficult to hear the compressor come on because of the blower, the compressor and solenoid come are powered at that same point. attached Starcool Flowchart

Also, a couple of post up is a picture of the solenoid location.

Interesting. I will admit I haven’t dived into this since summer but when I did I could very clearly hear a loud compressor kick on when I was trying to get the AC working. I need to go through it all again and make sure the condenser fans are running. I failed to check those this summer as it was not stated in the trouble shooting section of my manual. I’m in Mountains of UT so waiting for a warm day before I dive back in.
