Check at your FLAPs. I found a high pressure safety switch that screws on to the high side schraeder valve. I spliced it into the condenser's clutch wire. If the pressure rises above a set point (it was adjustable) the contacts opened, stopping the pump. Under $15.

When you were moving, air was flowing across the coil semi-sufficiently enough to cool them. If your fan isn't working, that flow stops when you stop moving. This causes the system to retain heat, over pressurize and blow at the weakest point in the system. This is exactly what blew ours.
