I think you have a marginal solder joint inside the MS.

Apparently. I hooked it up to the stim and saw the same 180°F regardless of the input.

I opened it up and did a visual and noticed a solder blob a resistor on that circuit that could have been the culprit. I reflowed it and went through flowing more solder on the entire board again.

Hooked it back up and it's reading fine now.
