I'm trying to install a new wifi thermostat, but am a little confused. I have 5 wires, but none are connected to the C in the thermostat, as seen below: thermostat

Additionally, when I trace the thermostat to inside of the Williamson furnace, it appears that the yellow/white wires are the ones connected to transformers, as seen below: furnace

And here is the thermostat wire hooking into the "panel": thermostatconn

Is there a configuration of the existing wiring I can use to power the new thermostat? (I've also purchased a 24v transformer, but am unsure of how to complete the circuit if I add one of the wires to the C terminal.)

    Can you post the wiring diagram for your furnace please? It should be on a label on the inside of the access cover or such...

  • Can you get us more photos of the wiring at the furnace please? The last installer left us with a bowl o' spaghetti to sort out

  • @ThreePhaseEel - Noting that Jasen (thanks Jasen!) said it couldn't work, I located where the thermostat wire connects. It's in the picture above, but not easy to get a good pic of b/c the fan blocks access to it.
