Our old thermostat decided to quit so I am trying to replace it with a

What's happening it the Heat will turn on if we set it to heat and
raise the temp, but the Air conditioning won't activate mo matter what.
Once when I turned the switch to FAN the circuit breaker cut power.

The Central air unit is fairly old... Here is a picture

Hopefully I won't get flamed as badly as I did in the other group.
The model is CAG1500
there are five wires: white, yellow, green, blue and red.

Honeywell... My dad bought it.
