Okay, so how does one handle the R/C terminal connections (which go to a
block)?

Problem:
its a Lummox with a WR stat
- I only need it to control heat (W), fan (G) and AC (Y)
- The R and C terminals on the unit have red and black wires (respectively)
soldered to a block which has 3 terminals on it (see
http://www.white-rodgers.com/wrdhom/pdfs/06_Cat_pages/Cat_06_pg0161.pdf)
- If I connect W/G/Y plus the R wire, the display does not light up -
presumably because it needs a full-time connection to T (transformer common)

Has anyone wired up one of these successfully and can I adapt it to my
single-stage furnace?

Yup, lots of times

yeah,

but I don't think it belongs here. I like just plain text in a newsgroup
without background colors. poor choice of color anyway, in my opinion.
