Furnace not working (Atwood/Hydro 8531-IV)
Got a trailer that has an Atwood 8531-IV Furnace in it that has never worked. I used to get the blower motor running (No heat) but no ignition. Propane is fine - stove/oven works just fine. I b...

Alright - I've read pretty much everything I could on this furnace. Which is why I was even trying to hot-wire it in the first place.
Long story short - got the blower working again. Plug had a pin lose. Makes sense - when it was in the trailer it would come and go.
Problem is - still no ignition.
I had the Electrode out and fired it up - blower worked, heard clicks, sail switch closed, but no spark from electrode.
So I think at this point it's either the ignition module on the DSI board that the wire plugs into that goes directly into the electrode or the electrode itself (which looks good).
So - follow up questions if anyone has any knowledge on this:
How would I check if the electrode is working?
Or how would I check if the ignition module is working?
Just for clarification (in case I didn't explain coherently) this is the part I am talking about:
Electrode is cheap (Around 20$) but the DSI board is around 200$.
