[Pump #2 Works On High Speed, Dosent' Work On Low Speed.]

So to update my pump #2 problem!! I opened up my spa, swapped the pump plugs on my circut board to see if it was my control panel or circuit board causing this problem. Lo and behold my pump #1 works fine when plugged into Pump #2 outlet, and my Pump #2 still has no low speed when plugged into my Pump #1 outlet. So I deduce that it is something with my pump. I pulled it out and took it to the Arctic dealer in my area. He couldn't figure out either what is causing this pump to not work on low speed. He had plugged it into one of his test tubs and the pump did the same thing, no low speed, high speed works fine. The only thing I saw, was that the capicator housing had cracked a bit, and the metal ring in the bottom of the capacitor had slipped out. The dealer said the capicator was ok, it was reading a bit "low"? But shouldn't be causing this problem.

Could this whole problem be as simple as it is the cord itself? The low speed wire or plug is damaged or broken somewhere along the line and that is why I have no low speed?

Thanks in advance!!
