Replacing an old Honeywell with a Hunter Model 44660. The old unit has 5-wires. On the back of the Honeywell the wire color and connections were:
White wire to the "W" connection;
Red wire to the "R" connection;
Yellow wire to the "Y" connection;
Blue wire and green wire together connected to the "G" connection.

I have an auto fan and cooling working on cue at an appropriate setting. No heat.

Current wire connection on the Hunter Model 44660:

G port has green wire;
W/B Port has White & Blue wire
Y/G port is empty;
RC port has Red wire
RC1 is empty;
RH is empty;
Y1 has yellow wire.

What is mixed up and will bring heat? Many thanks.

You will also need to jumper Rc to R1.

You need a jumper between RC and RH.
