Blower Motor wiring
I have a new blower motor Partners choice ndy01-0176 wiring for it is Black hi, blue med, red low, brown and brown/white cap, green, yellow. The yellow does not show where it go's. The old motor is a GE. wiring black hi, blue med, red low, purple cap, brown cap, and a thin brown wire that was connected to the cap and then connected to a black wire that connected to the control board. This wire was not connected to the old motor just the cap and board. There is no other wires on either of the motor.
So I connected every thing the same on the new motor including the thin brown wire that did not come with the new one. I did not connect the yellow wire, I don't know where it should go. Now I have the blower fan running good, but no air binging pulled in the 2 big return vents. Little air coming from the vents (more now than before). The heat pump coils iced up. No dents, rips or tares in return lines. Any ideas. yellow wire and the thin brown wire???

Welcome to the forums.
I'm not familiar with partners choice motors and I can't find any info on the model number you posted. However that uses typical motor wiring.
New motor.
Black - high speed
Blue - medium speed
Red - low speed
Yellow - neutral
Brown - capacitor (no polarity)
Brown/white - capacitor (no polarity)
Old GE motor.
Black -high speed
Blue - medium speed
Red - low speed
Purple - capacitor
Brown - capacitor and neutral
That means that the small wire that was connected to the brown on the old capacitor connects to yellow of the new motor. If you follow that wire to the board.... it should be on a NEUT connection.
