I assume I did something wrong and don't want to repeat with second new thermostat - any help would be appreciated

Doesn't do anything - will work if I bypass the thermostat - I dont see any damage to the thermocouple, I thought I ran it along the same path

No continuity - it seemed to work until I put it together - I jumped the wires and it worked - I thought maybe I broke or kinked the thermo couple but can't see anything
