The E80 error means No power to Y1 wire detected (cold weather shutoff). You’ll see this code if your air conditioner has tripped a safety cut-out switch that prevents your air conditioner from turning on in very cold weather, or your system might need maintenance.

 

It looks like you have a simple conventional furnace.

Have you tried this wiring?

Yellow - Y to Y1

Green - G to G

White - W to W1

Red - R to Rc

Depending on where the blue wire is connected to the control board in the furnace you might be able to use it for a C wire.
