    Ok two camstat wires coming down from top.. both black...

    One is hooked into middle of relay.. the other is hooked to power source..

    Thre was not any other wires hooked to the blower.. just the white to the neutral..

    So where to hook up the yellow? where the white was hooked? Probably not is what my gut tells me, but?

    Where was the red wire hook to did the red go to the relay ?is there a diagram you can read there should be one black wire that goes to the power source then to the relay from the normal close contact to the camstat then back to the red wire on the blower

    Red wire was capped off when I got it from the guy.. so should I hook the red to fan relay(black wire that is not hooked up).. keep the white hooked to neutral..

    All of the wires from camstat go directly back to relay.. but don't hook to anything else..

    It should be about 130 degrees and it should shut off at 105 there is a heater usually on a camstat to kick it on more quick if you hook up the duct work so you don't take air out of the basement it will be a lot warmer

    Well thanks for all your help, found out why the fan wouldn't kick on unless hard wired, I had a wire coming from cam stat that I hooked into fan spped red wire, works good now... just doesn't blow out hot air yet.. we'll give it couple of days and see if we can warm up air in house...

    My Family and I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
