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...

The electrode needs to be adjusted so that an arc ensues. The limit switch could cause no ignition. It can be bypassed for testing. All connections to/on the circuit board need to be solid and clean.
You could check that both solenoids of the gas valve are powered.
I adjusted the electrode already so the gap is where it needs to be.
The limit switch I didn't test yet (will be testing it shortly). How could I bypass it entirely, though? I was just going to use a meter to read voltage.
Circuit board looks good - not broken solder, no lose resistors or capacitors. It has a light on it that continues to spark when the furnace is turned on.
All connections were cleaned up and secured.
I can hear the click of the gas value opening up (at least that's what I think it is - it's coming from that direction and there isn't anything else over there that would make a noise)
