I have a PSC motor 120v run cap start cap and the centrifgual switch went out so i took it out got a electronic switch RECS-105P here is a picture of the schematic did i wire it right i wired blk lead from switch to blk lead 120v blk line power wht lead on switch to N or wht lead line power and red on switch to start cap and blu lead on switch to start cap . The start cap has two terminals does it matter where you put the leads . Does both wires have to go on one terminal or does one wire have to go to one side and another to the other side . I thought since the current was AC it dosent matter because its alternating. Thankyou DaveW20230506_163214.jpg

That does not appear to be a PSC motor under the normal definition, #1, they do not have a start sw.
The cap has no polarity, whether start or run cap.
If you are replacing the centrifugal sw with a external type, then the connection on the Centrifugal needs to be connected together.
You need to identify the start and run windings and bring all ends out.

First you have to find out what start windings you have, apart from the main Run winding. , one single start? or two , a run and a start as well as the main winding .
By "Took the Cent. SW out of circuit" do you mean leave the ends open, or connected together, should be the latter.
