Yes, as I tested my front thermo turns on furnace. Rear thermo will just blow air but should active the heat strip. But they don't seem to plug it in, just install it. Odd....
Like in your home AC, with a heat pump, there is what they call E-heat or emergency heat. There is a heated grid in the air duct that will get hot and Heat the passing air.
Pull off your air filter covers and remove filter. Mine is a Coleman Mach system with the two side covers/filters. Inside if equipped, you will see a metal finned tube bolted in. Looms to be blocking the insides of the opposite side of the air conditioning fan, behind the cooling coils.
If not equipped, there is usually a label at the bottom edge that tells you that's where it would bolt in to.
If equipped, it will be in there. But there is a white plug and wire harness that's coming off of the grid. Fairly large wires, maybe 12/14ga. sized. Two wire plug. To use, you need to plug it in up there. Should be an obvious mating receptacle and I believe only goes in one way.
I have to lower my bed back in the garage, crawl back up there and plug mine in. Just been busy..
