So we did some checks on the AC issue, the blower spins manually. When the blower is wired directly to 110 it just trips the breaker, the blower fails a continuity test, and the wires going back to the control box when we turn the AC on only show 2 volts on the multimeter. (so oddly enough to me…

Check all wires. It could be something as simple as a burnt wire.
If any motor trips the breaker that means it’s overloading before it starts. That’s pretty much how all motors fail
Also check the breaker they get weaker over time time
Shorted turns in the windings. Scrap. Visit WW Granger.
Motor is shot
The windings are shorted out. Replace it. It’s made by Dayton. You need to find a new one.

Turn the breaker off and see what else is on that circuit, if it is a dedicated line, disconnect both ends and run a new wire.
If that motor uses a capacitor for starting it will trip a breaker every time if the capacitor is defective. I can’t tell from the picture if it is a capacitor start.
Sounds about right, the motor went out and damaged the control panel on the way out.
