It has happened twice now. A storm comes along and I turn off the AC. Shortly after turning it back on to run,(after the storm has past) the outside unit tripps it's breaker.Blower is fine, and it runs fine when it's dry outside.
Any one have an idea as to what' s happening?
Thanks........

Try turning it off and on just like you would during a storm but do it on a nice dry day and see if it trips the breaker. The storm may not have anything to do with your problem.
