Hoping you can see this in the image. On mine they are connected to the red and black wires. Can't tell you much more than that - bought them that way.

You can see the inline connectors (scotch locks) coming off the wires that go to the capacitor.

Every now and then I still get the error message though.

Plug in the red side of the capacitor to the green wire, and then the black side of the capacitor to the black wire.

I did the green and black... and it burnt the cap in 3 mins.. i guess i tapped the wrong black... there are 2 black wires.

Wish me luck.. i will try the other black this weekend.
