After installing the new controller with no success, it was discovered that the wire to the igniter was loose inside. Seems that the igniter is also the keep-alive sensor. The loose wire made enough contact to fire the igniter but not for the sensor to function. A new igniter (couple dollars) cured the problem. The $100 card is now on the shelf as a spare :-(Good luck with yours,ray--firejones wrote:
