1st: Remove furnace access door (effectively cuts off control power).

2nd: Put thermostat back together making sure that all switches are in
the -off- position, and turn the temperature select to its lowest
setting.

3rd: Replace furnace door.


Does the blower immediately turn on still?

If no: Switch thermostat to -heat- and set to highest temperature. Go
back to the furnace and listen. The blower should be running and
in a minute, or so, the burner should kick on. This unit might have
a delay for the blower, so wait 2 minutes before deciding that things
are not functioning. That is it for this part until you come back with
an answer.

If Yes: Either the heating or the cooling relay is sticking. Once again, get back
with an answer.

Anyway, download above link. If it is corrupted, update your PDF reader.
