Welcome to the Home Repair Forums

It maybe that you have it hooked up right and that you have another problem also. In a unit like that there are safety switches that could be bad not allowing your gas valve to open! You can check to see if you get power to the gas valve with a volt meter. When you call for heat at the stat you then put your meter leads on the two wires to the valve when it starts clicking you should get 24v at the valve! If not follow the wires back to the board you will find that one of them run thru some limits, Check for continuity on those limit's (with the wires off or you'll get bleed thru)You need to check the wiring diagram on the furnace to see if the switch is normally open or normally closed for proper a reading!

Check it out and also you can check www.robertshaw.com for contact info if you still believe you have mis-wired the board!

When all else fails call the pro's

Good Luck
