now, for my next magical trick....

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

My understanding based upon the way Rolling Roc is wired and acts is that
that is the AC relay. It's the one that kicks it into high when the AC is
on. But the primary power for the thermo switch also passes through there.
I'd say you either dislodged a wire from the back of the socket or you fused
the relay when you put it back in some how. Try jumping it at the relay
socket (the relay has a little schematic on the side to help you figure out
which to jump), if it runs then the relay is done if it doesn't then the
wiring on the under side is fouled.

Good luck,

Rick Alexander
