Doug. That’s exactly what was wrong the switch for the gas was wired correctly but the switch for the electric part was wired all jacked up. It had a jumper wire for power coming fro
The gas switch but was connected to the load terminal on the switch. It had another jumper wire coming from the power for the water pump switch going to the power terminal and then the actual load terminal had the white wire going to the water heater that is supposed to supply power to the board from that switch, but that terminal is the ground terminal for the light. The way I figured this out was to run a wire from the water heater back into where the switches are so I could figure out which wire was my feed wire to the switch. Re wired the electrical switch correctly and it all works like it’s supposed to now. Wired completely wrong from the factory. They caused a ground loop and that’s what I was reading with my meter and not supply voltage. Gotta love it. Thanks guys, you all really did give good advice.
