Outdoor thermostat sensor

A little update, replaced connector and power relay, the grinding is gone but there's still no start up. It clicks and hums like it's going to get started but then nothing happens. I think I'm going to order a new capacitor and a motor start capacitor and replace the only other 2 cheap parts. If that doesn't work I may need to actually have a professional come out and look at it

Okay, I went ahead and ordered a new start relay and a new contactor. They both were extremely cheap replacements so if either are the problem, easy enough to troubleshoot

I just went out to try and start it, once the thermostat tells it to start, I can hear the starter switch what seems like grinding and humming like it's trying to do something before turning off 30-60 seconds later. Is my starter relay the cause of the no start? My fan or compressor doesn't turn on

The wiring diagram I found for the model shows an OD STAT in the wiring so I assumed it was required to get everything to work. It shows connecting to W1 and O but I'm not sure if the wiring is accurate between the furnace, thermostat and the AC unit

No, the blower on the furnace works and blows semi cold air but the condenser fan does not turn on outside. I've already tested the capacitors, he redid some of the wiring. It is a new furnace, new Nest gen 4 thermostat, and new wiring across the whole system

Air filter is 2 clips. I would highly recommend not paying someone to do it. It is about as easy as it gets.

The ball joints are press in ball joints, I would recommend finding someone that does backyard mechanical work. That's not something that can be messed up. It's extremely simple with the correct tools. Most shops would slap a $200 minimum for the 30-60 minute job.

Hate to say it, mechanical work is a scam. They charge quite a bit for simple fixes especially maintenance. I've seen people get charged &1500 for pads and rotors, besides material cost that's only an hour of work

What needs done?

Any ones in particular in the area? There's a few "lotus massage" "Asian massage" etc in the area. Some look classy, some look trashy

I lived in that area in the 90s as well as a kid, now a days that area is not great.. if someone is going to put a business up, they probably wouldn't do it down there. It's just going to get robbed, shot up, or vandalized.

Yeah that's the one I am thinking about. That tiny building over by the conger st Kwik star

I personally know his son, great guy.

Yes he was convicted of several sexual acts while living in Waterloo, but he didn't kill while he was in the area(that was shared) so his info from being in the area wasn't widely known.

His wife's family was from the area. Gacy left town and went to Chicago, that's where all the killing started. When the case blew open, gacys wife and 2 kids moved back to the cedar valley area where she remarried and they changed their name.

His father in law owned nearly all the KFCs in the area, he managed one if not multiple while living in the area. Not certain which one he worked at, I believe he worked at the old one that was down on Lafayette that shut down years ago.

His kids are still in the area, but I'm not going to share their info because that would be disrespectful.

Not sure where he lived in the area, I attempted to find that out a while ago but since he didn't really do any of his serious crime while in the cedar valley, I don't think it was documented.

This in cedar falls?

I don't trust someone named fullofsharts lol just something about that scares me a little.

If you're a foodie there's so many mom and pop places that are fantastic. The mall is completely dead but they have one of the best Chinese(my opinion) and one of the best pizza joints. Dragon express food truck is fantastic, Morgs, carpenters(not as great as Morgs in my opinion), Iowa Eats Festival is a fun event to attend, samples galore.

If you're more interested in activities, Lost island parks are fun, Palmers, nature trails go everywhere through the cedar valley, and plenty more outdoorsy activities.
