Thanks for the picture! 51 amps is way too high. Start up should be no higher then 30 amps on Furrion AC's like item # FR23PV. I don't know which one you have but the item # FR23PV needs 30 amps to start and 15.8 amps to run which is common amongst that size. If you're pulling 51 then somethings wrong with your motor and or your capacitator because it is pulling way too much power.

Furrion has 2-year warranties on their AC units. I recommend reaching out to them directly.

@JerredH I have current to control module then it goes to a relay with black & blue wire current go in the relay but that's as far as it goes no current any where else nothing to thermostat or any other wires at all
