Thanks for the help and patient explanations. I understand the lack of support for such old equipment on the manufacturer level but one would think that over the years someone would have scanned in wire diagrams for all sorts of appiances and uploaded them to the net. Since the diagram was supposed to be affixed to the inside of the lower door of the furnace, it would appear that the installer must have removed it in an attempt to prevent anyone but an "authorized" Comfortmaker dealer from servicing the equipment. That's just wrong in my opinion and the manufacturers should be responsible for providing this information to any consumer who requests it.

At any rate, your basic wiring diagram confirmed my assumption that the loose wire should be connected to the ground. I did call a local heating contractor that I have done business with before and had him stop by today to take a look at the system and verify the wiring prior to start up. All is well and the furnace is working fine.

Thanks for the help and advice. I always appreciate the good folks here at the forum.
