Hi everyone.
I updated my thermostat's last fall to Honeywell RTH110B's (home depot)which have heat/off/cool switch and fan auto/on switch (non programable), previously I had the old style mercury dial thermostat's and in my basement I have a honeywell temp-a-trol MSC-3 switch that I can set the fan on or auto and heat/fan/off/cool. In the fall I was able to get the heat to work but now am unable to get the ac to work unless I put the white wire on the Y port, but when I do that it doesn't turn off when it reachs the desired temp set. Each zone has 3 wires, bedroom has red/white/black...kitchen has red/white/blue. The new digital thermostat
has Rh RC (with jumper) W Y G. I had the red wire on Rh, white on W, and blue (bedroom)/black(kitchen) on G and the heat worked but now when I switched the MSC-3 to cool I get no ac. I'm thinking I need to get different thermostat's that just control temp and not the same functions as the MSC-3 but I'm stuck and not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Joe
PS. its 86 in the house....HELP
