Default How to test a wall thermostat to see if it's actually working?

More likely there will be a pile of disasembled parts
all over the place. He seems to prefer that to focusing
on the obvious. So, the furnace doesn't fire up. Who
starts by taking apart the tstat, asking 100 questions about
how to debug it, without going to look at the furnace and
seeing that the blower door is off, that he took off a few
months ago? Good grief.

I have to give him credit for the longest threads, the most
pics, etc. IMO, he should just call a tech.

In one of the Scott Adams "Dilbert" books, he tells
of a company that called a copier repairman. The
engineers had dissembled (dismembered) the machine,
and written notebooks of theories on why it wasn't
working. The problem was someone put toner in the
imager container. Normally a half hour diagnosis and
fix. To reassemble the copier and reset all the timing
gears took several days.
