CT 3400 with a weather bug select 90 plus
Hello,
I'm in a house that has a weather bug select 90 plus gas furnace. I do not know how old the furnace is. I am trying to hook up an old Honeywell CT3400 programable thermostat to the furnace. When I hook it up, no matter what settings apply to the thermostat, the heat will turn on but it will never stop. I can put the switch on the thermostat from heat to off and the thermostat will turn off. But when I put it to "heat" it just never turns off even though the temperature is much higher than the setting of the thermostat.
The non programable thermostat that I have had installed before works just fine. It is a non programable Honeywell basic thermostat. Inside the cover it says "Honeywell class 2 30V MAX" ON the front of the back panel it has some number "0247 CT41A444"
I am wondering what the problem is and do I have to install a relay? I do not know if there already a relay in the house already. I just don't understand why this programable thermostat won't just work. By the way, I know that it is not the thermostat broken because I have two of the same model of the thermostat and it does the exact same thing for both. When I hook it up, the heat turns on but it doesn't turn off.

How was the old thermostat wired? How do you have the new thermostat wired? Are the settings correct on the back of the new thermostat?

I hooked up the wires exactly the same as it was in the other thermostat. Green to G, Yellow to Y, Red to R, and White to W.
I also tried every configuration on the back of thermostat and it did the same thing no matter what.
Hooked up the old thermostat and it works fine.

Bad thermostats........ That is the only answer. All the thermostat does is connect
R to :
G = fan
W = heat
Y = cool
R to :
G = fan
W = heat
Y = cool
