Problem with Honeywell RTH 6300B T-stat

I purchased this t-stat last winter:

worked good for my heating system. But I recently turned on my CAC for the first time and noticed a wierd problem. The T-stat has a built in compressor protection feature. It waits 5 minutes before starting the compressor if the T-stat cycles too quickly. Which is fine only theres one problem: When I tested it out, the compressor came back on, but the blower motor stopped working, as if the 2 had been reversed. I double checked the T-Stat wiring and it is good. According to my Trane furnace schematic, the compressor relay is hooked up to y and c terminals on the furnace circuit board, which they are. A point to note, there is no C terminal on this T-stat. The manual says " Do not connect the c wire, you will not use it". Also there is an R and RC terminal on the T-stat jumped together. The manual says to leave the jumper connected if all I have is an R terminal on the furnace. I plan to call Honeywell for support, but does anyone have any input what might be wrong?

Maybe the high speed winding on your blower motor is faulty or disconnected? Does the blower motor run if you set it to "on" rather than "auto" at the thermostat?

The fan switch functions normally. I believe that my fan motor is only one speed. Although there are 4 leads coming out of it, I think its configured for the highest speed.

UPDATE: Well, I don't know what happened. I tries it again this morning and it seems to work. Both the blower and the compressor does not come on now. I'll keep an eye on it. But I could have sworn that was not the case yesterday.
