I recently installed a Honeywell RTH7000 programmable thermostat. I had an older Honeywell thermostat with just a plastic sliding piece to adjust the temperature. When I pulled out the wires I had a yellow, green, white, and red. Then I had some other wires that were not being used. I connected everything and the heat and air are operational. However, I am not getting any airflow upstairs. I'm only getting airflow downstairs.

I noticed on the back of my older thermostat there was s jumper between Y and 1. However, I do not even see a 1 on my new thermostat. I'm assuming that jumper operated the airflow upstairs. I need some advice on how to fix it. Thanks!

Does this thermostat control 2 floors?

Yes, I only have one thermostat that controls the whole house. It was working fine with the old thermostat so I know it has to be something with the wiring

That is tough to believe when G = fan, W = heat, R = power and Y = compressor.
What terminal do you suspect controls a damper?

That's why I'm confused. Is it possible I have another an auxiliary fan for the upstairs? That seems like there should have been a jumper from G then. I can take a picture if it may help.

I'm a new home owner I thought it would be a easy 30 minute project. Live and learn I guess.

I didn't see anything that would indicate additional controls.
I still think it's not the stat.
