As soon as I tuned on the heat via the thermostat - the thermostat shorted out. What next? Any suggestions? Now the air doesn't work either. Thank you!

Bet the limit is touching the cabinet and causing a direct short to ground. Or... you didn't break the tab separating the high and low voltage on the limit and just fried every 24v component. Hope not. Last edited by Marty S.; 10-12-2012 at 06:50 PM.
