Bob,
I think I just sent you an email by mistake when I was trying to post
a reply (sorry about that). *In case anyone else is interested, it
turns out that the suggestion to cut the wire instead of desoldering
led me to find that just heating the lug could recreate the short.
Apparently there is some solder on the inside of the capacitor that
caused the short after it melted when I was adding the jumper wire.
Desoldering the wire must have coincidentally reversed this. *I was
able to heat and tap to get rid of the short and all seems to be
working now.
Thanks for the help,
Rusty.

Good for you: A good find and good practice for looking for the
obvious and non-technical answer to a problem. Very interesting six
section capacitor!
