Hello, I have a OLD Siegler Holly V70 forced air gas furnace with a General Controls gas relay, and trying to rewire it so that 1 the auto fan limit works right. And 2 make it so that I can turn on just the fan with the thermostat.
I believe this is just a 2 wire system because when I started by replacing the thermostat to a digital one with a nonswitch fan control, the wires to the old t-stat were 2 black wires.
So I pulled some new 18/5 to the furnace.
This furnace has I said a fan limit which worked only if I pulled the knob to manual. I would not turn on in auto. As well the furnace has a switch on the outside to turn on the blower which is what I used to push out the heat sense the auto did not work.
Now here is my big problem I foolishly disconnected all the wires so that I could hook up the new thermostat. Not knowing that normally the wires are not just black Im stuck. ALL the wires besides the 2 from the transformer are black ( and the new wires I just pulled) to make matters worse the gas relay is marked as such.
There are 4 screws in a row from top to bottom facing the gas relay . Above the first two screws is written 24v and above the next two is written Thermo. Now I unscrewed the cap off and only the top screw and the bottom screws have any thing connected to them.
So as a quick recap. Off the transformer there is a red and white wire leading to the gas relay, a switch that connects to the outside furnace, 2wires going to the fan limit both are black and wires going to the blower. From the fan limit 2 black wires load/line heading to the gas relay. And the 18/5 wires from the thermostat to the furnace/ gas relay area.
I hope I detailed this out well enough I have not been able to find a wire diagram for this furnace so I hope you can help.
Thank you
