Replacing the capacitor in my davey pump and although there is a wiring diagram on the pump, there are two wires (blue and light blue) but the digram just says blue for both ? Capacitor also doesnt have a pinout legend that i can see.

Either way around for such a capacitor, it does not matter which blue wire goes on which terminal. :)

So rubber cap goes on back right, and the 2 blues go on the left pins.(both lefts will be connected, but the joint may be hidden under the resin.)
