I am not the original owner. If I only knew then what I know now, only a month or two into ownership - what to look for....I'm assuming at some point all is not lost. That I could get someone who knows what they are doing to re-wire it. Thanks. I'll look for the 12v fuses and start pulling. It just kicked on again - and I had to lower the temp to get it off. It's now set at 40 - in the past I pushed it back up to 68/70 once I was sure the furnace was off. Now I'll turn it up and look for the naughty fuse and hope it only controls the heat.
The Tstat is White-Rodgers. You are right - it does look like a run of the mill house tstat - back in the day...
The EASIEST and low cost fix is to install the correct Coleman wall tstat. This link shows the wall tstat that was original. Doug
