Is this pretty easy to install? Is it just removing two wires from the old capacitor and reattaching to the new hard start capacitor? Thanks.

Yes just two wires if that is all your original capacitor had. I have install two on each of my motorhome ac units. They give the old units a real solid start.

I agree with you. I also did not find it very clear. My advice is to pay close attention to what to what is written not the diagram. It is very easy to install incorrectly otherwise. Also before you remove faulty sensor - not how the wires are attached and label them before removing. That way you can install replacement without instructions. Finally - new time delay switch is touchy. I would set it to middle position. Good luck.

Just hardwired mine today. I bought a Cobra hardwire kit (they are universal), a Bussman BP/HHH fuse tap (both from Amazon) and a 2amp fuse from an auto parts store. Very easy. Hardest part is figuring out how to run the wire throughout your car so that it's out of sight. You may need to look up diagrams and photos of dashboard/panel removals. Not hard. Also, you need to find a fuse in your box that works only with the key in the ignition. Easy enough to test/research. Total cost of hardwiring this myself was less than $25. Quoted a price of $75 from a car audio place.

Henry, The fan motor capacitors are for the 3 speeds of the motor. One gray wire will go into positon L of the 3 way pull switch. Usually you can use a very small flat blade screwdriver to push the spring clip back thru a slot to release the old wire and should be able to push in the new wire. The other color wires will go in order into the 1,2,3 slots in the order they are are the capacitor body, usually red, brown, purple. The other gray wire will go into the plug connector in the gray slot. center opposite white slot. Generally easier to clip existing gray wire from slot, leave some length, strip and twist connect with a wire nut. Biggest problem is the plastic body 3 way switches break easy so be careful. They are common stock at big box hardware stores though. The capacitors, which fail often, are not though, strange. Fortunately the price on them has dropped dramatically online. 6-7 years ago I was paying $25-35 for them and now can find for $10 or less.Probably find wiring diagrams online for Hunter, Harbor Breeze, AllenRoth fans. Good Luck.

It was easy. just take the bulb out then there are 2 plastic clips holding the socket to the wiring. Unplut the old socket, plug the new one in, replace the bulb.

The hard wire connecter fit exactly the one I replaced (also a Kidde). Took the old unit off, put the new one on, no rewiring needed for me

For a few bucks it would be worth it to replace the capacitor, but I went ahead and replaced the motor cause it was less work and less risk of shock. Being that I don't have the proper equipment to discharge the capacitor.The new motor is working well and was worth a quarter of the price of a new pump. If the capacitor doesn't work. Your still coming out better then having to replace the pump. Cheers my friend. Hope things work out for you.

I simply crimped and soldered it back together. The factory connection is only a crimp so i recommend soldering the connectors as soon as you a new unit. It will conduct the electricity better (doesn't heat up) and will not pull out as easily.

Yes, assuming your old capacitor is still good. From the new motor: White would go to the "C" common, Brown capacitor wire would go to "Fan", black would go to power contact just like old motor. Put tape on the brown with white stripe. Note: We always include the required two prong capacitor, just in case the old one is bad. Barry

I just pried it up. There is a retaining wire underneath the black cap, I cut the wire with some side cutters and was able to lift off the device.

Wendy,They give you more than you will need for the actual repair. I purchased the kit and had several leftover capacitors. Kit worked great and the overall repair was pretty easy. One tip: tiny tiny bits of soder and don't spill it.Good luck.K

NO I agree with Fred buy the complete unit. In my case mine was old enough that they were not the same. Just write the color coded wire order before you remove them. Very easy to change.

Very easy. Remove brake caliper, unbolt existing hub, bolt on new hub, reinstall caliper. Total job took me 15 minutes. I recommend using blue loctite when reinstalling.

Yes it is very simple and pretty basic.Make sure you write down the way the wires were so you don't forget.Loosen the screws holding down the wires, remove screws from the inside back of the Replace with new unit and connect the wires.

Very easy to install. When you poke your head on the side of the motor you'll see the solenoid sticking out. Just unscrew it out and screw the new one in. Then plug the little wires together.

I replaced the control box and only had to connect the lead wires out of the to the existing wire leading to the box. Very easy, very quick.TDL

We'll I had the same thing and mind was bad capacitors!! Easy repair with the right cap kit.the hardest part is the soldering! Go on you tube you will find out how to do it,it will show you how to do it.get the right kit from Amazon they have what you need. Inexpense too. The best to check on YouTube!
