The following are the wire colors used in a 5 wire thermostat cable. if it is hooked up correctly by installer.

  • G – Fan, usually a green wire
  • R – 12 Volt usually a red wire 
  • C – 12 Volt Common usually a blue wire
  • Y – Cool, usually a yellow wire
  • W – Heat, usually a white wire

Always a good idea to look at the other end and not trust Bob at the factory to have bothered with following a set plan..

With the advent of the camera phone, I take reference pictures all the time..

Thanks Bill - I did see that picture but it's not the same as mine :( 
there is a couple extra wires and the colors don't exactly match up.   
Mine are red white and blue! 
I do think I found a pic on FR website, which hopefully will work. From what I gather color schemes may not be consistent and I may just have to find them at the AC unit hookup to see what they are wired to at that end.

OK, that's the digital one, some are analog, like mine. Hopefully someone will pull theirs off and snap a quick phone pic or something to help you out.

Hey friends! I pulled off the thermostat and I didn't make note of which color wires go where.. Thought I'd remember but got sidetracked.   Not sure what the colors are! Can anyone help me out real fast? Thanks
