I should have used some black electrical tape, but I always have way more gray around leftover from work.

whether I leave the thermostat open(wires cut and separated) or closed(wires shorted) it behaves the same way. It shuts off @ -15c, and back on @ +5c(box temperature).
Very strange if you ask me. What should I do?
