Calling all electricians! Homebuild hatcher help....

Ok, I've gone and confused myself again.

I have 5 components to wire to plug.

fan - black & white wire
light socket - black & white wire
heating element - black & white wire
indicator light - black & white wire
thermostat - black & white wire

Now I know I have to have the thermostat in there somewhere, but is it paralell or in line? Meaning white in, white out?

I think I got it!!!

I believe this diagram by wifezilla is much simpler:

If you want to only use one plug you connect some of the extra wires from the thermosat into the fan.

That link might help to show parallel vs in series.
