The common wire for the thermostat should be connected to the 24V side of the transformer. In your schematic that you shared, this is the brown (br) wire leaving the transformer. There are 4 brown wires attached with a wire nut. This is where the COMmon for your thermostat should attach.

  • could i add the common wire to the wire nut that says "TO OD UNIT" or does it have to be placed with the wire nut containing all of the brown wires?
