Thanks again everyone. I replaced the contactor and everything works as it should.

That’s the plan. 😂🤣

Thank you everyone for helping. It tuns out it’s a bad contactorin the outside unit. I disconnected the yellow wire at the outside unit, turned the t-stat to cool. As stated before, this runs everything as normal except the outside unit. I then connected the yellow wire and it rebooted the...

No, it’s powered by the air handler.

How would I check that?

I tried running the brown wire and it just rebooted again but made a slight noise at the air handler before rebooting. Tried the same thing with the pink wire and it did not reboot but also made a slight noise in the air handler but would not reboot on its own. I turned off the t-stat after...

Thank you, I’ll try that on Saturday.

I mean the t-stat does not reboot when the wires are disconnected. It shows cooling is on, it’s not waiting, and the outside unit doesn’t run because there’s no signal. The inside fan runs.

Thank you. It looks like 9 wires in the bundle. The t-stat has 5 wires: Y (yellow), G (green), C (blue), W (white), and R (red). It runs a gas fired forced air furnace with AC in line with the fan. Would the Y wire run through the air handler or directly to the outside compressor? If I swap...

Before jumping R and Y, I thought I'd check for a possible short in the Y. I disconnected the Y from the outside unit and the thermostat ran normal. So, I disconnected the Y in the thermostat and it ran normal. I think there may be a short in the Y wire between the thermostat and the outside...

I’ll try that tonight after work. I’m picking up a multimeter tonight to check voltage at the wires but I’ll try this as well. Thanks!

It’s 2-3 years old. The system worked last week. No funny noises from any equipment, it seemed to just start doing this. Edit: The thermostat is 2-3 years old (house built in 1990). The system worked last week. No funny noises from any equipment, it seemed to just start doing this a few days...

Thank you for reading this. I have a Honeywell Lyric T6 Pro Wi-Fi thermostat. As the title says, it will not turn on the compressor. It just goes to waiting for a few minutes, then it turns to cool and immediately reboots itself. It does not appear to be a compressor protection delay for short...
