thermostat issue with heat pump
I have a goodman heatpump, this summer I changed my thermostat over to a new honeywell thermostat. All summer long the cooling side work without issue. Today I went to try the heat side, when calling for heat the blower will activate, but the compressor will not kick on. I did not have this issue with the older thermostat. The thermostat is wired up correctly, and the only way I can get the system to function properly is if I add a jumper between blower and compressor. This way, when in heat mode and the blower kicks on, it sends signal over to the compressor and starts it. The reversing valve works fine between cool/heat, it just seems that the thermostat is not sending power to the compressor when calling for heat.
The thermostat does have a switch on the back for gas/oil or heat pump and I have tried both settings with no change.
heat and cool both work fine with the jumper wire in place.

If you have an orange wire on O/B.... then the jumper on the back gets set to O. The fan jumper needs to be in the HE location.
Go to system setup and change function 6 to 1.
