, posted Sat 21 Jun 15:38  
Just bought a house, has a two yr old Trane XR80 unit for both central heat and air. It has been working great for both heat and air. I just replaced the fuses for air cond. outside house and has worked fine the couple of times we've used it. Turned it on last night however and nothing happened. Fan won't come on, the wall thermostat just clicks, but that's it. I noticed that the light that is usually working on the unit is not (I can't remember if it's a blinking light or always on, but no light in little round window now). I've tried shutting whole system down and restart from fuse box, but nothing still. Is this an electrical issue? Any ideas? Should I just call a technichian? I have zero skills with this. Changing the fuses was a pretty big step for me! Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If your breakers have not tripped, my money is on a low voltage short to the outdoor unit has damaged your transformer.
Trane did not start using low voltage fuses on gas furnaces untill recently.

how do I go about fixing a low voltage short or a damaged transformer? And just to make sure, you're saying it's on the outside of the house with the AC unit and not on the Trane unit inside? regardless, this is kinda sounding over my head...
thanks!

I recommend calling a pro if you do not feel comfortable working with high voltage.
