Hello,
To make a long story short, I am wondering what would happen if the Y1 and Y2 wires were crossed going into the condenser unit outside on a 2 stage compressor. I wasn't seeing the compressor kick on when the stat said "stage 1". The inside blower motor was just blowing air around inside and it would stay on for a while without the outside unit kicking on. It only kicked on when it went to stage 2. When I looked at the schematic it looked as if the wires were crossed in there. So I swapped them just to see. Now it kicks on when it says stage 1, but I don't notice it necessarily changing speeds when it goes to stage 2. It now at least runs in both stages.
Like I said, long story as to how I got here, but...shouldn't the compressor outside kick on in stage one? Now that I switched the wires, it kicks on at stage one and stays on when it kicks into stage 2, although I don't see a difference in speed. Is that hat normal if it is now working correctly? Or should I switch them back and leave it alone?
Thanks,
