Default Bryant propane heater can't possibly be wired reversed (red LEDblinks constantly)

AFAIK, it's a thermocouple, similar to what you'd have in a water
heater.
You can probably buy a new one for not too much, might be easier than
trying to measure what u have.


The flame sensor is $20, and it's on order.

At the moment, it could be any one of three things:
1. Bad flame sensor (let's hope),
2. Bad circuit board (let's hope not as the quotes are $250 & $450)
3. Bad circuit board ground (I wish).

I know you suggested I check the ground on the circuit board, but,
try as I might, I can't find a single connection "labeled" ground!

Presumably the AC line is connected to the controller. Follow the
green wire/s. The incoming ground will be connected to the cabinet
frame, typically right where the connection is made. And typically,
you'd have a green wire at the controller, together with the hot
and neutral, that probably goes back to that incoming connection point
too.
