    Not sure about why the jumper from Y to W but it will not effect this test.

    In the ritetemp book it says W is heating return. Should I instead jump from RH to Y and leave jumper from Y to W in so that all three are connected

    Your heat pump may energise the reversing valve in the heating mode(only a few do this) jump R to Y and O this will energise the reversing valve in heating.See if the lines get hot now.

    OK went back in there to redo the wiring.. didn't realize that with the stat off the outside unit would still be running, touched the lines on the inside unit and they were nice and hot... so I never did jump R to Y to O.. So now what?

    You got the wrong T-stat or not set up right for heat pump. What make and model of stat do you have.

    I looked at the wire diagram for your T-stat. At the thermostat keep the jumper from RH to RC and keep the jumper from Y to W give it a try.

    I don't know what the heck happened but it works now. I don't know if the outside unit just needed a jump start or what but its kicking now. I really appreciate all your time and help. Thank you.
