Hi Richard-
Thank you taking the time to explain that. My electrical understanding is about a 5-6 on scale of 1-10. That is why I have never plugged my first attempt to the shore or land- line in to test it. What I had done and shared -- It didn't make sense. I know enough to trace the circuit and knew I was missing something. You explained that. The original wires to the compressor have to be correctly moved to the 120v relay, and to neutral. That puts the relay into use (when also attaching the 120v White or Black --not both-- to the Relay). I have redrawn my diagram with all of these connections shown. And will attach soon. It is now attached. I have a question. Since this RV has two compressors (two new relays) do I wire each relay exactly the same? I read somewhere in this thread that one relay should use White instead of Black for power to balance the load? Thank you.
