    First I have to ask why you are replacing your stat, and secondly what make and model system HVAC system you have?

    What make and model stat did you buy?

    Thermostat and Furnace Compatibility

    It's been updated so don't let the old mercury stat throw you off, just scroll through the tutorials. This is a must read!

    Couldn't understand your PM very well but try this, Jot all your connections down (R, Y, W for example) and make sure the new stat has all the same connections.



    Is this what you have?
