The issues are solved and furnace is now running.
1 Testing on the bench showed the ignitor nor the valve solenoid were activating. Further testing indicated although the sail switch looked to be operating, it was not closing the circuit in the up direction thus causing the rest of the issues. Tried lubricating spray but still failed. Replaced the sail switch.
2. The Previous Owner had also mixed up the fuses !! there was a 7.5 in the circuit that also runs the refrigerator, and i just assumed a 7.5 was the correct fuse 7 burnt fuses later. On the OEM panel called for a 10 amp fuse. Checking all the fuses revealed more fuses in wrong places.
Just now coming in from enjoying a cold beer sitting in a warm trailer in the driveway !!! Thanks for the suggestions here in this forum as they helped me troubleshoot the issues..
