Use a multimeter to check if you compressor is grounded. Remove the black, red, and orange, and check each to ground. If any shows less than 10 ohms, your compressor is toast.

However, you say the compressor was humming, so it sounds like it may be working. Did you get the right cap to match the new condenser fan motor?

You're shorting out somewhere, but the condition of the compressor terminals suggest the problem is not the compressor itself.
