Started this May 7, with ques about my central AC not working.
Last suggestion from Tsuubaki was to try a jumper from certain poles to another, and see if AC kicked on.
I am gone extensively, and coupled with unseasonably mild weather, checking AC got lost.
Anyway, I did not perform the test. Today, when I opened the thormo up, I discovered several poles. They are, from L to R:
C,RC,O,B,RH,W,Y,G. I was leary about just crossing two poles over for fear of shorting something out.
Suggestion was R to Y and R to G. Which of the two poles with R (RC - RH) am I jumping?
Thanks,
Sarge

You would want to jumper Rc to Y & G.

From the markings on that thermostat, if most of the wires are connected, it looks like you have a heat pump. Look in the indoor unit for a circuit board. The board may have an automotive type fuse on it (usually either 3 or 5 amps). If no fuse & without a meter, you are probably going to have to call a service company.
