First of all calling the display and control unit a thermostat is a misnomer. It does so much more than signal air temperature. Anybody who owns an AE should realize that.
But really guys the, shoot from the hip, wild a$$ guesses as to how to troubleshoot this problem are astounding. Advice on connecting wires together without an understanding of what those wires are is just unconscionable. The OP is lucky that this advice did not damage his stove's control board and/or power supply. There could be no doubt from his original description that the control unit was damaged by electrostatic discharge. Why muck with wires that do things you don't understand when it is highly unlikely that it will do any good and probable that it may do harm?
This may seem like a bit of a rant, but if we are to give helpful advice, our first priority should be to do no harm.

At any rate....an update I did contact the dealer and they have the old Control Unit and will be sending it back to me. Any suggestions on who might be able to fix it?
Usually followed by an odd smell and a little blueish smoke.
Thank you, I might just take you up on it. Let me get it back and I will be in touch.I have tinkered some. If you can't find someone? I'll take a look. No promises. I'll even look under the hood(post pictures for the group) and maybe someone else can see whats up?
No labor fees. Just shipping and parts is all I'll ask. If it helps the group? its good for me!
