Go to the gas valve, look for three terminals. One will be marked TH, one

power here, so you can jump with a paper clip. But when you do *** THE

the
problem is in your wiring to the wall switch. If is does not come on, the
problem is in the gas valve. The wiring is the likely culprit.


Paperclip test worked.

Put a meter between the two screws that were successful in the paperclip
test and reading was 260.

Any advice is appreciated from here. I tried to just manually connect the
two wires that were at the wall switch and that did not work.
