Unhappy HELP: Any HVAC Experts?

I have a bit of a problem...

My heat-pump compressor won't activate (it's temperate enough this weekend to open the windows, but a test of the system revealed some trouble).

Symptoms:
  • A/C will not engage; thermostat does not indicate operation at setpoint
  • Heat will not engage, but thermostat indicates that it is running
  • Aux-Heat (Gas) functions properly
  • System blower fan is functional

What I've checked:
  • Power to the compressor
  • All wiring is intact at the 'Stat, Furnace/Blower, and Compressor
  • Circuit breakers OK
  • System status LED at furnace/blower indicates "Normal"
  • No trouble codes at the 'Stat
  • Outdoor temp is functional from the 'Stat display

We've had some pretty bad storms with lots of lightning lately. We usually either get struck nearby, or take a surge from a strike. My guess is a bad relay somewhere, which is beyond my repair.

Any thoughts? Someone will have to come out Monday if I can get it fixed.

Thanks...
