- Good info - thanks. I figured it was something like that but didn't know those terms you used. So to be sure, what I described was the old control. On the new one, I need to hook up the carbon filament wire inside the high voltage insulation to a male spade terminal. They supplied the female spade terminal as well, but on the receiving end for the carbon filament is a small female pin size hole. I guess I strip back the insulation to get to a 1/4 inch of carbon filament and solder it in the spade plug? Is that correct?

One other issue I am having is that they also supplied a new pilot sensor. I presume it puts out a different voltage than the old one so I do need to replace it, but getting to it seems a bit of a hassle. I removed the damper cover and door and can reach it, but can't budge the spade plug off of it nor see how it is mounted. Next step is I'm going to try to remove the burners so I can actually see how it is held in place. Please let me know if this is the wrong thing to do!!

Thanks again for your help.

- That's what I was told when I described my symtoms so I felt that it was worth the 'do-it-yourself' chance of buying the $130 part. It seemed pretty sure. Didn't know just a part replacement could leave me with these questions though...
