I know next to nothing but I do have a multimeter and test light.

Major thanks in advance. It's supposed to hit 103 here today, first real heat wave of the summer. I want to take the RV to the beach!
The primary things that goes wrong on Air Conditioning units is loss of freon followed by a dead capacitor and then the motor contactor. I keep spares for those fixes, because the AC always goes out on July 4th or Labor Day weekend...
