    Installed Honeywell RTH7400 Thermostat but get no power
    I have tried to comb through the threads to find a problem that fits mine, but I didn't find it. So please forgive me if this is a repeat question for something that has already been presented.

    I have just installed 2 Honeywell programmable thermostats (RTH7000 series). The one for my downstairs unit works just fine, however I can't seem to get any power from the unit upstairs and I have installed them both the same way.

    I have 5 wires. Red, Green, White, Yellow and Blue (for C). I have read to check the circuit breaker, but the switch is on. I have also read about fuses, but I have no clue where the box is if one even exists.

    I have a outside AC unit and a Goodman indoor gas furnace that is about 12 years old.

    Any idea how I should proceed to fix this? Keep in mind I am slow. :)

    Thanks

    You should have a 24 volt transformer in the furnace. 2 wires from it should go to the control board. One of them may have an inline fuse in it, or there may be a small automotive blade fuse on the board. Does the furnace have an LED on the control board? If you have a volt meter, you can check the R and C terminals at both the furnace and thermostat.
