- Remove the Orange control wire from the terminal board.
- Check for 24VAC between the Orange control wire and "C".
- Power Present ⇒ Remove the Orange wire from the thermostat subbase, then re-check for power on the Orange wire at the O/D unit.
- No Power = Bad or Mis-Configured Thermostat
- Power Still Present = Shorted Control Wiring
- No Power ⇒ Check for 24VAC between the now empty "O" terminal and "C".
- Power Present ⇒ Check HP jumper plug on the CFM board (Should be removed).
