If the t-stat is stuck on open or closed it will not operate properly

1ST-- check this like stated before
If the t-stat is stuck on open or closed it will not operate properly
if this is ok then recheck the relay to make sure that it operates properly--possibly a crossed wire. i would also recheck the wiring for resistance and that the grounds are good--remember that wire can corod inside the jacket


let us know what you find

later
and
