To answer the question.. No, then yes. then no now sometimes.
We will skip the first NO.
Then it would actually light off. but only for a few seconds. then it would try again and again then it would lock out.. I tested everythign I could.. Thermocouple put out the proper voltage.. Flame was good... Decided the chip on the mother board that detects the 0.480 volts got zapped.
Put in a Dinosaur board. 100% functional.. NOTE Dino board was half the price of Atwood. and way way way way better built. also I think I know what happened to the Atwood board. Looks like Dino thinks the same cause they put a protection device on their board that the Atwood did NOT have.
Then it stoped even trying. blower would not come on.. I'm still working on that but it appears to be a short in the blower motor leads. Sometime it works. and I can make it work when I have to if I am parked.
