switching from an old Honeywell T87F (dial type) thermostat.... on the
old tstat it was:

Wire - Terminal
Red - R
White - W
Green - G
Yellow - Y
Grey - B (but this wire wasn't connected to the transformer on the
other end)...

And I think they are saying you shouldn't have connected it.

Was the new stat compatible with the system? Time for a VOM and check
voltage. If the transformer is not putting out then you will need a new
transformer as well.

When my furnace/AC was about 5 years old, the AC stopped working. I
traced it to the transformer and went to a supply store where they
said it was part of the control panel and was about 200 dollars.

I whined a bit and he offered me a plain transformer for about 10
dollars,.

It looks sort of funny mounted elsewhere inside the furace but it's
been working for more than 20 years.
