OK everyone, I fixed it! I did talk to Atwood a couple of times this morning and he suggested I take the module to a local RV dealer and have it tested. That worked just fine. The dealer suggested a new sparker/sensor perhaps. That was $50 so I said no.
I called Atwood, and he said jumper out the T-Stat by removing the wires and jumpering them. That did not work. But wait a minute. In on of the leads that go to the thermostat connections there is a diode like device.
Called Atwood again, asked what this was. Apparently is is a fusible link that will melt and shut off the gas relay if there is a fire in the vicinity of the link. I pulled the plug in connections off the fusible link and jumpered the wires again. PRESTO!
The fusible link is just fine, it read 0 ohms in both directions, (which a diode would not do), but the spade connections were all crusty and ugly with corrosion. Squeezed off the old, cleaned up the ends, replaced the spades with new and away we go again. Yippee!
