    This is the old setup!
    W-white
    Y-yellow
    G-green
    O-orange
    C-blue
    RC-red
    W2-brown
    There is also a jump wire that was with the red one and it is RH
    My new wires are
    E
    Aux
    Y
    G
    O
    L
    R
    B
    C
    Which I connect all of the wires but the w2 wire is not connected what wire are suppose to go where this setup is confusing...

    This is a heatpump, correct?

    R----RED or RH AND RC NEED JUMPER BETWEEN THEM
    B---Orange
    AUX----Brown
    G----Green
    Y----Yellow
    C-(COMMON)---Blue



    This should do it, don't hook anything else up. This is assuming that you have auxiliary heat (electric heat strip)... and the reversing vale is to be powered in heat mode. If this doesn't work switch the Orange wire to the O- terminal. If this helps let me know.
