Yellow wire from lower circuit board (P3 pin 2) is DC POS to gas solenoid valve AND to reigniter
Black wire from reigniter is DC NEG.
Should have have same DC Voltage on Yellow to Black at reigniter as DC at terminal block during the 6-8 seconds that gas valve gets DC Voltage (trial for ignition)
Got good voltage to reigniter
*Pull High Voltage Cable off reigniter -----uses a good wire to ground and check for spark (NO spark...bad reigniter box)
Got a good spark
*Pull High Voltage Cable off electrode and hold end to ground to check for 'spark' (No spark..bad High Voltage cable)
CAUTION: Just like gas engine spark plug wires.....hold with insulated pliers so you don't get ZAPPED
Good spark.........
Electrode out of position.......too large/small gap etc
