No y connection
Hi everybody I have gas Goodman forced air furnace with ac coils and outside condenser- what I can’t understand it word fine in heat or cool mode however on the control board I have wire going to the R, W , G, and C but I have no wire going to Y (cooling)
like wise on my nest thermostat I have 4 wires attached to Y1 W1 G and Rh my question is where does the 2 wires from my condenser go to if there is no Y wire attached on the control board- can anyone explain how that is ossicle thanking you in advance Tom

Welcome to the forums
Ok..... that makes sense.

Your R wire on the board goes to Rh at the stat.
Your G wire on the board goes to G on the stat.
Your W wire on the board goes to W1 on the stat.
Your C wire on the board goes to the outside condenser.
Your Y1 wire on the stat goes to the outside condenser.
The Y is compressor and does not always connect to the board so it will be a splice near control board.

Thank u
thank you pjmax for the life of me I could not figure how that worked seeing no connection to the y on the circuit board- Is this a normal way of connecting the compressor?

Yes..... pretty normal.
Some control boards use the Y wire/connection to change blower speeds. Heat would be a slower speed while cooling would be a faster speed. Many installers are just too lazy to connect it.
