A Ha.

Even though I have Dometic basement air, I had exactly the same issue. Contacts in relay mounted on circuit board were toast. I confirmed by apply voltage to relay trigger and ohming out the relay. I got through the weekend by bypassing the relay.

I ordered spares and keep them in the coach along with a soldering iron. You may or may no have removed something from a board before. For those who have not, buy soldering wick at Radio Shack or some other place. Put it between the iron and solder joint. It will suck the solder out of the hole. The part should literally fall off the board if you have done it correctly.

Russ, you might also want to check something while you're in those control boxes. For some reason, the wire splices where 120 was going to the compressors were loose. I had a melt down in one my three boxes. Obviously bad connections at that juncture drop the voltage and up the amperage. I suspected that may have been a contributor to my burned relay. Anyway, check those wire nuts while you're in the box.
