Got a wifi thermostat. Behind the old thermostat was a blue wire. The other side of the blue wire in the equipment isn't plugged into anything. I need to get the 24v common hooked up to this blue but don't know where it goes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You don't show where all the thermostat wires are connected in the unit, so I can't see how it's currently connected. But according to the schematic, the blue wire heading off to the left of the first photo is the C wire.
Fortunately, in your case, the fat blue wires in your first photo are the transformer return -- connect the skinny blue wire from the thermostat cable to the fat blue wires. Since the air-handler maker used quick-connect terminals for the internal wiring, you can crimp one of these onto the end of the thin blue wire and slide it on in place of one of the fat blue wires somewhere, then slide the fat blue wire onto the stacked end the linked terminal provides.
