This system, the Reignitor does just ONE thing.
When the control module sends the Reignitor a 12 volt signal, it just sends the Electrode a spark current. Thats IT.
On this system, the control board,
1. sends a 12 volt signal to OPEN the gas valve
2. RECEIVES the FLAME signal LIT/ON Thru the standard Thermocoupler, then the control board removes the 12 volt power to the reignitor BUT leaves 12 volts to the gas valve.
This system also has a 3 attempt Gas lighting sequence. After 3 attempts it will lock out and turn on the CHECK light on the inside control board.
You can use a 16 or 18 gauge wire(12 inches long or so and strip both ends 1/4 inch. Stab one end of wire into the spade area of the Reignitor and hold the other end(insulated needle nose pliers) about 1/2 inch from a ground source. IF the Reignitor is good you will see a spark.
LAST, either for this thread or another a few months ago, I attempted to find a reignitor. NONE. I did find an aftermarket brand, but did not pursue getting it. Doug
