Jim, let me ask this. If the reignitor is like it is in this pic with the electrode wire unhooked and way away from it. Should I hear any noise from the reignitor when the main board sends the 12v to the reignitor? Because I do. The best I can describe it is a wee wee wee. Not a snap snap snap. Any time I have got the electrode to spark at all it has had to be real close to the burner and it has not been a snap snap snap like I would expect. The same when I did the test with a screwdriver. It was more like a faint click click click. With a real faint spark. I wonder if the reignitor could be internally shorted and is not sending the voltage to the electrode that it should. I do definitely here a noise coming from the reignitor when there is no electrode hooked to it. I also here that same noise coming from the reignitor when the electrode is hooked to it. The noise from the reignitor is the same with or without electrode hooked up. I have watched videos of other people working on there electrode or replacing it and I have never got a spark like I see on there's. I am thinking maybe with my original electrode it was to far away to the burner at the factory setting to spark at the lower voltage it was getting. Then when I put the new one in it was real close to the burner and that is why I got the little sparking that I got. What are your thoughts? If it is a bad reignitor I hope I can actually find one. If it is say the coil covering in the reignitor has cracked I wonder if it could be fixed like you can fix arcade monitors and old TVs with sealant. Just a thought. Thanks
