As stated in your other 'atwood water heater' post 2 days ago....
That thermal cutoff was not your original problem. They are a 'one time' diode that when it trips it has to be replaced (trip on 190*F temp from blow-back/flare-back out of combustion chamber). Unplugging it and plugging it back in means that you made better contact so circuit to t-stat was completed.
Need to clean/tighten terminals where spade lugs connect, pull and clean connector on module/clean contact surface with a pencil eraser and replace that 20A fuse with a 2A fuse.....that is IF you haven't damaged the control module due to that oversized fuse which is there to protect the module from damage :S
Here is the wiring diagram......test for 12V DC
