Thanks.
I picked up a new spark electrode and will replace this weekend. I will try the screwdriver trick and bring my soldering gun if needed. If I can't get it working this weekend, I will remove the control board and try to fix/ replace back here. 260$ Canadian for the control board here! The trailer is 3 hours away, so I am better off picking up the cheap part and hoping for the best.
Thanks again
When you see the Board, you will see the Piezo Tower. Since you are bringing a Solder Gun. Usually, the failure of the Piezo tower is caused by removing the electrode spade connection without holding the Piezo tower in place. Pulling that spade connection without holding the tower in place cause the solder pins for the Piezo to break loose and cause no continuity. You can pull the board and then manually attempt to move the Piezo tower. IF the solders are loose you will see it. Soldering those loose pins usually fixes the Piezo problem and saves the cost of a new Control Board.
