    You should Verify insde Unit where wires attached, Most common I see used is, red- common, white-heat, green-fan, and yellow or blue for cool.
    At the Start of Heating and Air Conditioning, there is good info in detail.

    All those extra wires may mean a heat pump. See the sticky at the top of the forum. That thermostat may not work with one.
