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

a paper clip. But when you do *** THE

then 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.
Hi,
260 what? Volt DC, AC? Or Ohm reading?

Probably millivolts , since the OP mentioned a thermopile . I have a
customer down in Memphis that is having the same type of problem with a
floor furnace , but intermittent . He has whole-house forced air too so he's
not cold , but he leaves a crawl space door open a little so his cat can
shelter there . He worries about his pipes ...
