As the other poster said, the contactor is powered by the 24V from the
air handler inside your house. So even if you turned off the 240V, you
would still here the relay click.

Congrats on fixing the unit yourself despite the sarcastic remarks
some of these idiots made.

Well, what doesn't kill us makes us more knowledgeable. I did know
enough to turn off all breakers including the one to the air handler
before monkeying with the outside unit so I wasn't in any danger.

Next I need to clean the internal coils. Just looked at 'em, they're
nasty. Obviously with as much suction as I'm getting plenty of air is
getting through but they definitely need cleaning.

I'm a professional idiot. Sarcastic comments are included in
my job description.

Will you be using a belt sander to clean the inside coils?
That's what professional idiots use. 60 grit open kote red
garnet is good.

deposits. If you're gonna do something, do it right I say.
