Of couse this works for oil fired burners we have down here in cold eastern Canada, not sure if you folks have the same there.
Sure hope you get it working, though, cause it's cold everywhere lately!~
Good Luck,Brian
I found out that the small transformer has a hot side on the other furnace. I lost the tip of my multi tester probe while checking the switch on this furnace! The furnace is acting like it did when the motor went out. I had a bad circuit board on the other furnace but it made sounds where this one does nothing. I think from you talking about the transformer not doing anything until you get ignition I’m thinking it’s another motor. We have propane here, we have to convert from natural gas.

Thanks for your help. The last time I checked it was 21 degrees and falling.
