the capacitor is bad
or the unloader valve/valves. When the compressor trys to start with pressure in the tank, you should hear a short burst of air. Thats the unloader letting of some of the pressure off to help it turn over. some compressors blow the air after its up to max. If thats stuck or bad it can cause the comp to not turn over and blow the circuit. kind of like pop off valves on a high compression motor.
I would check them after making sure the wiring is ok
