You need to go inside to the air handler. You can post a model number and we'll try to look it up. Pictures are much faster and usually better. The 24vAC comes from a transformer inside the air handler. You most likely blew a 3-5A protection fuse. If not...... the transformer may be blown. Typically this happens when wiring work is done and the air handler is not powered down first.

PJ, when you say go inside the air handler do you mean beyond inside the electrical panel? I thought all the electronics were in the electrical panel? I posted a picture in a previous post.
I'll get the model number after work today.

Well I broke down and called in a pro yesterday and had it fixed. The temp in Nashville is supposed to dip into the twenties tonight.
Turns out the compressor had zero refrigerant caused by a leak in one of the copper lines. The line was rubbing against a metal bracket near the fan. Seems that the compressor vibration prematurely wore a hole in the line.
$400 later and it's fixed.
