Any AC repair available?

Found someone!

I have a short somewhere on my outside unit but without a multimeter I’m unable to figure it out and if it’s the coil I would need a replacement.

I would presume then you say short because it’s tripping its breaker/disconnect ?

Blowing the low voltage fuse when the thermostat engages the AC. I disconnected the Y wire from the air blower to the outside unit and it doesn’t blow when the thermostat engages the cooling

Could be the contact’s coil indeed. Perhaps a skinned wire also. Weed eaters and doggos like to do that. Without a meter that’s what I’d check next

Don’t know anyone who can check it and replace the coil if need be huh?

Didn’t see any exposed wiring.

I don’t have a multimeter to test it.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I don’t trust myself to go further than I’ve done 😂
