I have a C, L, and two ground terminals, so where do I install the black, white, and green wires?

They like to keep it a secret. I would think that the C would be the wire that goes to the compressor, the L would go to Line (power in). Am not sure where the grounds should go unless the thermostat has a connection to it's metal body. Hopefully someone will jump in who has worked on one of these and remembers the hook up.

Sometimes parts are defective right out of the box. Remove it from the unit, set it at mid point in its rotation and check the connectors with a meter. Should be 0 ohms (closed).
