Sorry Tony but help for DIYers is not freely given by the professionals on
this group.
There are a couple regulars that will try to help, but if your a DIYer and
wander on
to the group because you have a problem, you don't know who is helpful and
is
purposely misleading you.
Me? I'm just here for the comedic entertainment!

Don't be silly ! That would back-feed voltage into the W1
heating circuit ! Something would start smoking almost immediately !

Would that be Rh or Rc, and would that be W1 or W2? Jumping
the wrong one could easily fry the board, or the
transformer. He didn't say what he was wanting to
accomplish, so even those instructions might not be useful.
It's reckless to tell him to do this or that, if you don't
know the purpose or goal.
