The 3 amp fuse is in the red low voltage (24 volt) thermostat wire
and only gets power when the thermostat is set to turn on heat or a/c It should be connected to the red wire from the thermostat
Hello,Good job with description.Something is keeping the condenser off(saftey).Do you have an emergency heat setting on the therm.It will run electric heat strips only until service can check it out.Very rare that the disconnect switch (black box) is it.Need electrical meter to prove it out.
It's very possible that the fan itself is bad - relatively common on VW's. First check the fuse for the fan on the fuse panel. You could also have a fan control module problem. Can you hear/feel the compressor turn on? If so, then the module is good and you probably have a bad fan or a blown fuse.
If the outside unit is running and the inside unit is not, probably a problem with the fan motor itself or its capacitor. If you have to have someone repair or replace the fan $200-$250 with parts, a capacitor for a service call and part $100 or so. Check it yourself first to see if there is anything obvious broken wire, hot connection, etc if you feel safe doing that. Turn the power off first. There is also a chance the thermostat could be the problem. Have you tried running the fan on the thermostat "fan on" setting?
the compressor may not be running turn the unit off get it serviced I do not know the service rates for the area where you are to find out what is wrong For me to show up in Minnesota 80.00 call reputable co. Tom
