Ecomodded,
To be clear, it was the second from the left in the pic. The furthest left is the compressor contactor (with the red and white wires attached to the top). From left to right, the remaining sugar cubes control high, medium, low fan. These two types of relays are what the mfrs have been using in all manner of appliances for decades. For example, in a microwave oven, the control board would have one of each type in it. The contactor would control the magnetron tube, the sugar cube would control the exhaust/cooling fan. If you had a range hood microwave, it would have all four of the relays in this air conditioner (and maybe more, to control lights and such).
The scrappers in town love me. They pick up dead stuff and do a quick troubleshoot if the thing isn't real heavy. Sometimes, we can bring the dead things back to life in the driveway in no time. If it's netr (not economical to repair), it's trade, gut, or off to the scrap yard time. Like any machine, some parts are very valuable if they still work. The yard pays by the pound, ebay does not.
