At the start of the season the blower on the inside unit would run but the outside unit wouldn't come on. I took the control panel off the unit outside to find the run capacitor was bulged and leaking. Went to my HVAC supply warehouse and got a new one and added 1lb of refrigerant (which it needed). The unit ran great for 3 weeks. On Saturday afternoon when I came home I noticed that the house was warming up. Again the blower was blowing but the unit outside had stopped working again. When I pulled the panel again the run capacitor looked to be good. Grabbed my multimeter to check the volts. The inside unit was putting out 24 volts to the stat and I was getting 119 volts to the outside unit (which tells me it probably is the fan motor). Got the motor and installed it yesterday but the unit still hasn't come back on. When i rechecked with the meters I'm no longer getting power outside. The breakers in the house for the unit are good and when I looked at the two 30A fuses in the outside electrical panel they aren't burnt. Please help!! Thanks Mike
Is this 3 phase? 3 phase is diffrent from single phase

Clicking sound is the contactor engaging to start the outside unit. Check for a burnt off wire at the contactor. For some reason you are not getting power to the outside unit. If you find a burnt off wire shut off all power to it then remake the connection at the point of the circuit break.

check connections tightness or if you just change the connector will solve the problem that is if the motor has not burn out yet

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?

Due to the many different questions I see about Air Conditioning, I am including this overview to help us better understand each other for trouble shooting. A basic air conditioning system has a Thermostat, Air Handler or Furnace Fan and a Condensing unit. In a split system, the condensing unit (Condenser) is separate from the furnace and usually in the back yard. When working properly, it blows hot air. It connects to the cooling part of the system by 2 copper lines. One large line and 1 small line. The part that cools the house is the "Evaporator" and is usually on top of the furnace inside the square metal box (Plenum). When the Air Conditioner is running, the large copper line should be cold and the smaller line should be warm. Common signs of low refrigerant are that both lines are the same temperature and/or frost or ice has built up on the large line at the condenser. The thermostat will normally display room temperature on till it is touched to change the setting. It could have a "Span" setting as well as times and temperatures. The operating "span" of MOST residential thermostats is 40 to 90 degrees. That means you can set it as low as 40 degrees and no higher than 90 degrees. It probably has a fan switch also. When in the "ON" position, the fan will run constantly, 24 / 7, but the condenser will still cycle on and off as needed to keep the house at set point. If you have a suggestion to include in this paragraph, please let me know.
I think I have it covered above. Let me know if you need something more specific. Thank you. Roger

its a single phase. I went back at it and checked everything. I have power all the way to the outside unit but still won't come on. I looked on the circuit board for the 3A fuse but can't find any. Its acting like a fuse is blown but can't locate it. Its a Goodman CK 30-1b
