Thermostat Only Works on First Floor

I have a 2-floor home with gas heat. My thermostat kicks the heat on fine on the first floor. The thermostat does not kick on the heat on the second floor. I took the thermostat off the wall on the second floor and connected the two wires, shouldn't this start the furnace? Does this mean my problem is not the thermostat but a problem with my furnace? The house is 4 years old so I am sure that wiring to the basement is in good shape. Appreciate any suggestions!

Re: Thermostat Only Works on First Floor

Do you know where the wires for the second floor connect in the control unit on your furnace? If so, jump the two screws with a piece of wire to see if the furnace kicks on. If it doesn't, it's controller time. If it does, bring the whole thermostat down to the furnace and hook it up with a short wire. If the furnace kicks on again or doesn't, you'll know what you need to do. Thermostat or wire to the second floor, one or the other.
