Include the model and serial for accurate results, that being said the standard wiring is RGYW (C)
R= (red) low voltage power from the transformer to "R" on the thermostat
G= (green) to "G" on the thermostat to the fan relay
Y= (yellow) to "Y" on the thermostat to the AC contactor (relay) coil. (usually outside in the AC unit).
W= (white) "W" on the thermostat to the heating terminal/gas valve, controller (varies with manufacture).
C= (common) not used much these days but some thermostats have to be "powered" by the low voltage transformer because they have lights, rechargeable batteries or other functions that require power.

SOURCE: Replaced thermostat on FA4ANF030 with Honeywell model rth3100c does not work

if you have a newer t-stat your heat pump reversing valve is either o or b depending on the type of system you have

SOURCE: Air handler

This should be doable: First get pen and paper-start at the furnace, theres a group of 5-8 wires leaving the furnace anfd going to the thermostat and a group of 2-3 going to the condenser outside that all need to be identified and the location in the furnace recorded if your furnace has a control board simply right the letter and the corresponding wire color:and whether it belongs to the condenser grp or the T-stat grp.

Furnace
R-red-to t-stat
C-yellow to cond
Y-red to cond and yellow to t-stat
G- green-to t-stat
W- white- to t-stat

If you dont have a circuit board youll be doing the same thing but using the components rather than letters;

Transformer 24v- red to t-stat
transformer 24v com -yellow to cond
Red from cond connected to yellow from t-stat
fan relay - green to t-stat
gas valve - white to t-stat

K then go to you t-stat and simply connect the corasponding component or leter to the thermostat gterminal

Cond Furnace Thermostat

yellow com- blue -C or B
gas valve or w-white -W
fan relay or g -green -G
trans 24v or R -red - R
red connection to cond or Y on board -Y
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Wiring diagam for goodman heatpump

On your t-stat you have Y, W1, W2, R, O, G, B or C or X. Y is your cooling circuit and will be the same in the air handler and heat pump unit, use the yellow wire for this circuit. W1 and W2 are your back up elec. or gas heat. Depending on how many kws or heat strips you have and t-stat wires you will put the white wire to W1 in both the t-stat and air handler. W2 is for your second stage back up heat if air handler calls for it, this will be a tan or brown or black t-stat wire and goes to W2 on t-stat and air handler. R is half of your 24v control power from the transformer and is the red wire and goes to the t-stat, air handler, and heat pump. O is for the reversing valve in the heat pump that switches it from heating and cooling. You guessed it the orange wire connect to t-stat and heat pump. G is for the blower and is the green wire to the t-stat and air handler. B or C or X is known as the common which is the other half of control circuit from 24v transform it is the blue wire and goes to the t-stat, air handler, and heat pump.

SOURCE: will not go into defrost

Did you change the thermostat in heat pump? or did you change it when you replaced the board?

SOURCE: Goodman Air Handler motor will not turn off.

Look at your Thermostat wiring.
If there is a green wire going to the "G" terminal, disconnect it.

If it stops running, you have a bad T-stat.

If it keeps running, you either have a stuck fan relay or a low voltage control wiring malfunction.
Those are usually related to one of the safety switches having problems.

If green is not going to G, let me know, and we will determine which one is indeed the fan wire and go from there.

Remember, when you rate the solution, it closes further dialog, so only rate when you are satisfied with the discusion.

New unit. Goodman air handler, ARUF 61D14AA. Where is O and Y2 for connecting heat pump and indoor thermostat wires, yellow and orange? Thanks

Is this a 2 stage cooling system because only then you will need y2.
You can put any color you like on these terminal but it have to match up with the thermostat for example if you put black on R terminal on air handler then you have to put black on R on thermostat

My goodman ac unit. M#g8x130301bd comes on with the thermostat turned off when i turn thermostat to cool the fan on the air handler wont come on

Incorrect low voltage wiring, or if the wiring is old, most likely a break in the insulation of the wiring creating a short.
First thing, check the wiring diagram to see that all wire colors are attached where they should be at the thermostat.
Then look at the wiring diagram at the air handler and verify the control wires are on the proper terminals.

HE heat pump won't talk with old air handler?

The fact is, the air handler supplies the voltage, blower, and electric heat. In order for the heat pump to work correctly, the wiring from the thermostat and heat pump need to be hooked up right to the air handler. The thermostat is what tells which component to come on. If the fan stops, but the condenser keeps going, you either have a faulty fan relay on the air handler, faulty thermostat or wiring, faulty wiring at the heat pump, or the contacts on the new unit are sticking, which is highly doubtful considering it is working now. I hope I have helped you understand this a little more. Good luck and don't let them push you around, get someone that knows what they are looking at.
