My contactor in my Trane XE1000 had been sticking occasionally and the compressor would not shut off. So I ordered a new one and installed it but now the compressor runs all the time. As soon as I flip the outside breaker on the compressor starts running without the fan and stays running. The old contactor is a Siemens 45GG20AJ The new contactor is CTR02574 I'm attaching photos of the old and new contactors. I put the wires in the exact same positions but that isn't working. What wires do I need to switch?

Hi all, thanks for taking a look at this post. A few weeks ago, we had our outdoor compressor fan stop running. So I got a new capacitor, and installed it. Only they didn't have the right one at the parts store, so they gave me two, one for the compressor, and one for the fan. The one for the fan, I was told, only has the brown wire (from the fan itself) connected to it. Things worked fine for awhile, about a week and a half, then the fan stopped running mid-cycle. So I figured it was the fan itself, I pulled it off, and got a new one. At the parts store, 40 mins or more after removal, the fan was so hot that you still could not touch the body of it, the parts guy said this was further indication that the fan was bad. That worked fine for two days, now it's overheating, and stopping mid cycle, and when I looked, I was surprised to see it was running the wrong direction. I am 90% sure that when we installed the new fan, it was going clockwise, and blowing air up and out of the unit as it's supposed to. Now, it's going counter-clockwise, and pulling air in, which is probably causing it to overheat and stop. I have heard that a bad capacitor can make the fan run backwards, but I thought that was limited to capacitors with more than one connection. This is a fan-only capacitor, and only has one wire hooked to it, so my thinking is that its not likely that's the case this time. Am I not understanding this right? I know how to reverse the fan wires, but am hesitant to do this since I'm pretty sure it was turning the right way upon install. However, there is always that chance that in the heat out there I was not thinking straight and I got it wrong. Anyone have any ideas?
