@hvacsavier: When the thermostat won’t cooperate… go straight to the source. 🔧 Bypassed the Honeywell stat by jumping R to Y,G and W at the base to call cooling and verify system operation. Quick way to separate stat vs. equipment issues.

appleuser233749986 :

Dont do it this way.

Ian Mueller :

Now try C…

Nidal :

Can you help me with my wiring I can’t get my ac unit to kick on

consciousness :

put it on c to check the fuses

HVAC Tech 1 :

Make sure you test the common to make sure it’s still good

Ape man :

Bro idk why I never thought of doing it that way

Dequan Davis :

I replaced my thermostat and it worked for a day. the thermostat calls for cool but it stopped sending the signal. but if bridge red and yellow it turns on the out door unit. but won't do it while hooked to the new thermostat.

Joey :

Not hating at all serious question, if you do that won’t it not turn on the fan? Just the outdoor unit?

Tim :

Or use the thermostat's test mode

Deonte :

These thermostats you use E and w2 for heatpump applications, it specifically says do not use W for it (if it’s a Honeywell pro series TH14blahblah) so this would be on a furnace guys. Even if it wasn’t I don’t think it’s that deep. Assuming it is a heat pump/electric in this scenario looks to be jumping to conclusions imo.

Pope Swamp the Mad Queer :

It’s a shame you just told people to run electric heat without a fan…. Thank you for the service call and the opportunity to have a laugh at a home owners expense

tim :

why not just do it at the air handler? I mean the wiring is already accessible and you don't leave smudged fingerprints all over the customers wall and thermostat... plus you will most likely end up in there anyway

joeoquendo361 :

But why would you jump out y like that, you’d have no blower motor

Trey🦆 :

I been in the field 4 years did not know

fragout1599 :

The heater will be just the heating elements?

OakeyDoke :

or you can do it all at the AH/Furnace so you can actually see what's happening

17 :

HOTTT DAMNNNNN🤯🤯🤯🤯

g :

They not like Uce :

me over here with all my jumpers 😂

Fernando Rodriguez III :

Just do it at the board

rj_datek :

Brooooo this is dope

the_dude7978 :

you mean to tell me that for 40 years...ain't no way

Bryan Z :

Just learned something 🔥

YeetMyTicTac :

if you do it at the unit, you can tell if its a thermostat or unit issue.
