    Replacing Trane Baystat240 with Honeywell RTH3100c
    I have recently acquired a residence that had a much older HA/C unit. The thermostat is a TRANE Baystat240 (3AAT80B1A1). Up till now it worked well. Recently both the heat and air were blowing at the same time. Go figure! LOL. I have recently attempted to replace the thermostat with a Honeywell RTH3100C.

    The TRANE has the following wires:
    R
    T
    O
    G
    Y
    X2
    B
    W

    The Honeywell has the following connectors:
    E
    AUX
    Y
    G
    O
    L
    R
    B
    C (optional w/ batteries)

    I have connected the Honeywell in the following fashion, but it still is not working:

    TRANE Wiring = Honeywell Wiring
    R = R
    T = (not used)
    O = O
    G = G
    Y = Y
    X2 = E
    B = C
    W = Aux

    The Question:
    What am I doing wrong? I have tried to call Honeywell and ask for help, but I keep getting hung up on when they switch me to live assistance.
    what's happening is I am getting no action at all by my system. It's the weekend now, and if I call a pro... I'll definitely pay the price. Could someone show me the proper way to wire this thermostat up? Is there a reset button on the blower and/or compressor?

    Thank You ahead of time, for anyone willing to assist me.

    If the heat was on with the a/c with the old and new T-stat, I would say you have a stuck heat sequencer in the fan coil unit. Your wiring looks right for the T-stat change out.

    I don't believe you can hook B on to the new C. Trane uses B to control a heating damper and C is the common side of the transformer. I believe your new thermostat requires both R & C (24 volts supply) and the old one didn't. You may be able to use the B wire by connecting it to C in the air handler section.

    I'm not the expert with the trane system but for what its worth I would say O - reversing valve, Y- compressor, X2- emergency heat, W- aux heat, B- common, G- blower, R- 24 volt power. Sounds like you have the older two stage heat one stage cooling mercury bulb stat.
