ok here we go i have a goodman a32-10 split system electric heat pump not a really good one ive read imagine that anyway it was working fine until the other morning when i got up and could smell the faint smell of something burning coming to find out it was the blower motor inside for the vents it was still running but running at about half speed, so no biggie replaced the motor with the correct replacement part and also replaced the capacitor, and this is where the story gets good kids, after hooking it up the motor started running i went and checked my thermostat and it was off but the motor was still running, so i turn just the fan on the heat pump was off then the motor shut off, turn the blower off and after a minute or two the motor will start up again, so i went and turned the heat on and the blower motor stopped running and will not run at all also tried the ac with the same result basically the motor doesnt run when it should and runs when it shouldnt right now theres some kind of swith inside that i have the wire pulled off just to keep it from running all the time, and i never had this problem before, please help before i shoot this thing

Did you wire it up back like it was before?
Sounds like the wire is on the wrong side of the relay.. But I don't know Goodman's board how it's all wired up and what not.

I've looked around to see if I can come up with any info on this unit, and came up empty.
We'll see if the other guys has anything to say.
