HVAC outdoor unit dead
It may just have been a loose connection.
With the disconnect off loosen the lug and remove &amp; inspect the wire.
If the lug and wire are not burned off you can clean them up and torque the lug(you have enough wire to trim and strip a new piece if needed).
I see this quite often many times at the disconnect. Checking the lugs at the disconnect (on the load side) if they are loose it would be a good idea to kill the feed to the disconnect and torque them, once everything is snug turn the disconnect and feeder breaker back on.
If everything fires up the loose connections were the cause, if it won’t start it may have blown a fuse but I don’t normally find blown fuses with loose connections.
I have seen much worse that when properly cleaned up and tightened have worked fine, I would suggest giving it a try, if it starts know you just saved a c note at least. If it won’t start after that then looking at the starting cap and contactor would be the next steps also a diy project you may want to do.
