The compressor would not start so I replaced the starter relay and the compressor started and ran for a while but it was really hot. Now it runs til it overheats and the overload shuts it off. The continuity across the compressor terminals is good and it is not grounded The wiring diagram doesn't show a separate run capacitor.

What you need to check is for a locked up or very tigh compressor motor bearings, need to use amp clamp and clamp to the wire on overload on compressor the single common pin that is either top or bottom is where the overload goes. Look on plate/sticker on compressor and find what the LRA (locked rotor amp) is and see if amp draw is at or very near at LRA value

Note ;the windings can be good but the compressor can still be locked up
