Re: Thermostat not getting 12v
Hey guys, So I still haven't figured it out. I tightened some wire nuts and got the 12v supply to give 12v. However whenever I go to test at the wire nut junction on the furnace RED, T-RED, +BLUE and 12v+ wire nut it is reading 1.5v until i remove the 12v+ wire then it reads 13.6v on the 12v+ wire. So there is an immediate voltage drop whenever I join all of the wires together. I tried jumping the 2 blue wires together but the furnace does not kick on. I also tried putting a jumper wire from my fuse box to supply 12v (or more accurately 13.7) to my thermostat. Whenever I did that My ac kicked on when set to cool, but my Furnace would not kick on. So to me that shows that the Thermostat and rooftop AC unit are both functioning. Which leads me to be believe that there is a wiring issue or connection issue or something in the furnace since the 12v is starting there and moving from the furnace to the thermostat and the ac. I am sort of at my wits end.2.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Thermostat not getting 12v
I traced the power source for furnace to a wire nut union beneath the a drawer that is orange and white and coming out of the wall. It reads 2.5v, I cannot seem to find a orange and white set of wires on the fuse box anywhere so i am not sure where these wires are coming from.2.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Thermostat not getting 12v
I tested the power supply going into the Furnace, which is a white and black wire similar to the wires supplying the light fixtures and outlets with power. The wires were reading 1.8v So I am guessing that the issue is before the furnace. I do not know where the wires come from thought so that is the new issue. Any ideas?533Views0likes0Comments
