Update: windings were shot. Had to buy a variable speed pump to replace. CA won't let pool owners buy a 2 speed any more, must be variable speed. Awesome. All good now.

So my next steps will be to check voltages and test relays (I just need to find tutorials on these) I also ordered another cap, a different brand, just to validate I didn't install a defective one with the first replacement)

I switch speeds via Hayward OmniLogic controller, so that would be via relay(I assume) in the OmniLogic controller box

Sure, here are a few more pics with the top and back covers off as well as the box from the capacitor I replaced. (Old and new caps are the identical)

I replaced the one on top, in the hump.

Didn't seem to be an issue but I'll change it when I get back to working on it, thanks for letting me know

Here is the info on the pump. I believe it is a tristar. Top capacitor has 2 leads. I'll take the back cover off but I'm betting there is a cap in there like everyone is saying and I'll replace it and see what happens.

Video of the issue Pump is a few years old. This morning it decided to stop running on high but works fine on low. I think it ran on high correctly for a bit when it started this morning because I heard the spillover this morning. If I try to switch from low to high it attempts to start but...
