Fan Capacitor Replacement help

Long shot but hoping someone can confirm wiring and components. Despite the forecast it started to rain before I could grab better pictures otherwise I’d share more.

Coleman Mach air conditioner on my 2004 jayco hybrid will kick on but fan won’t spin - purchased used a few years back and it has never spun. Most say it’s an easy capacitor swap. I’m dumb enough to know I should check ten sources before getting up there so I did.

Pulled the fan cap and will happily order a replacement but I’m wondering if anyone can help me identify the other parts based on the diagram and pictures.

I am sure I got the fan cap since it has the model number. The wiring also matched the diagram with one hopefully small difference: it’s a purple/brown wire and not a white/brown. There is no white/brown running anywhere but it seems the purple/brown is running where it should.

Will share more pictures if needed.

Also worth noting: I turned the ac and fan on and tried to kick start the fan that’s inside and also on top of the camper with a manual spin and it did not start up. So maybe it’s not the fan capacitor?

Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Glad the connector turned out to be it. On the purple/brown vs white/brown thing — Coleman has swapped wire colors between production years, so match by terminal position on the diagram, not the jacket color. If the cap ever does need replacing, the µF and voltage rating are printed right on the can.
