Hello everyone.  I have an older M1M on the board in the furnace it only has four connectors and connections:
C (Blue wire)
W (White wire)
G (Green wire)
R (Red wire)

The older thermostat had the following connections:

R (Red wire)
W (White wire)
Y (Blue wire)
G (Green wire)

I tried one for one when installing the Honeywell T9 matching what was connected at the furnace circuit board:

C (Blue wire)
W (White wire)
G (Green wire)
R (Red wire)

With this setup I'm able to engage the heating, and fan. I'm unable to get the A/C unit to engage. I have the C wire adapter, but do not see a location on the circuit board to connect the Y wire.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated in helping me get this sorted out.

Thank you in advance,
Chris

It sounds like you used the blue Y wire for C now.  You will likely have to buy the Honeywell Power Adapter.  This will allow you to use a 5 wire system with only 4 wires.  Didn't the T9 come with the adapter?

If not you can buy one here,

It came with the adapter.  I'm unsure how to wire it in since the circuit board only has the 4 ports listed. I did not see a "Y" on the diagram. Is it possible to use the blue wire for Y, and C?  On the old thermostat it was connected to Y, and to C on the control unit within the furnace housing. Is it possible to splice the adapter "C" wire to a different 24v source on the circuit board, and place the other wires accordingly?
