RED light on ON/OFF Panel is a 'fault' light..........didn't fire off on gas, ECO tripped on gas (or electric if combo unit)
"Starts most of the time, runs a few minutes and shuts off."
This indicates.........dirty/bad contacts at connector on board, dirty/loose ground connections, loose/faulty connections at terminals on t-stat/ECO/gas valve, spark electrode position (needs to be engulfed in flame), dirty/bad connection at board for spark high tension wire.
12V DC can indicate good voltage but it doesn't take much resistance to stop 12V DC current.
