    Replacing old Sears (70's) tstat, 3 light indicator System Guardian? What's that for?
    I replaced a 4 wire Sears mercury thermostat with a new honeywell... No problem 4 wire to 4 wire. All works fine. The question I have involves the "system guardian" that is located just above the thermostat. It consists of 4 wires going to three indicator lights A/Auto Rest, B Manual Reset, C Manual Reset. Have no idea what to do with this. Want to get rid of it because it is ugly and does not seem to perform any useful function. Don't know what this monitors. If I get rid of it will it cause a problem? How to terminate it?

    Thanks

    Do the indicators ever light up? If not, it may already be disconnected. Dismount from wall so you can see the wires, then check near furnace for same type.

    Could it be for an Alarm system?
