    6 wire AC/Heater to 5 Wire thermostat
    Hi,

    I have a Coleman BRCS0301BB AC and a gas based heting unit. I see 6 wires coming up to the thermosat -

    Red
    Blue
    White
    Yellow
    Green
    Brown

    I'm trying to install a new digital thermostat with 5 connectors -

    Rh : Heating power supply
    Rc : Cooling power supply
    W : Heating signal
    Y : Cooling Signal
    G : Fan

    Can anyone advise me on how to connect these and what to do with the spare wire?

    Thanks,
    Rochak

    Yeah I have tried most of the solutions I have read about on several of these pages, yet no luck.

    I have determined that the Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, White wires go to the AC and
    Additionally the Green, Red, White, Blue wires go to the Furnace.


    So... how should I connect a five wire programmable thermostat?


    Does anyone have a clue?

    Thanks.

    Try jump wore between rh and rc, hook red to any terminal of rh or rc
    Then yellow to cooling
    White to heat
    Blue could be common or not used.
    Brown cap off
