Welp... after checking voltage I reconnected wires. As I was tightening the wire nut the fan came on and the gas heater came on for 5-10 seconds and shut down. Came down and themostat now has power and is working. AC is cooling. I guess it needed a passive reset of some kind.

Appreciate the assistance my good man.

Going to get a big glass of cold tea, cool down, and get on the phone with the AC company. They got an arse chewing coming.

Something similar happened to me last week when I changed a capacitor. Needed to rest a bit first I guess.

Looks like you found a loose connection which may have caused a low voltage reading.

Glad you're going again and have tea to cool down.

In my experience, AC technicians have gotten very poor at their job but all think they’re great. Problem I have with companies is they do t always send the experienced techs. So I keep having to change companies or figure it out myself like you did.
