My old 1/4 hp furnace motor has 5 wires coming off of it one being blue which I believe is hooked up to the red power wire that goes to the power switch. My new motor has six wires because it has an extra speed I won't be using. The problem is there is no blue wire, I have a white, yellow or orange wire to chose from. Would you know what color is replacing the blue wire? also I will be replacing the capacitor which isn't marked with a red dot like the old one, I'm not sure which side is hot? Thanks
