Ok after all the investigation and helpful advice I have fixed the AC!
I took apart the #4 ac on top and got into the place where there was a schematic for the wiring. I found the start capacitor and repalced it with the one from the same unit #3. It did not fix the problem but I heard the compressor trying to start and just not continueing. So I replaced the run capacitor with the one from #3 also and that did the trick. The next day I went to an electric heating and Air shop and bought 2 capacitors to match and put #3 back together with one of the new ones and now they are all good, I also now have 1 spare for the future collection also. This all only cost 30 dollars and some time and pain. Just a little.
Much less had I gone in for service at Newell which starts at 150 an hour and with no estimate ever and then just clock up the time and pay at the end. Undoubtedly it would have ended in a few hours inspecting breakers and fuses and maybe cleaning filters and then told to buy a new unit which again im sure as they are telling me about everything almost here that they either cant get it anymore or it will be months out to get and they cant give you any exact times of when. The unit would be about $ 1200 and then im sure 4-6 hours installation which might be $600 to $900 labor.
The $ 30 capacitor and a few hours was a much better route for this one. Thanks again to all who took any time to comment here and try to help.
Much appreciation.
