thanks for all the help!

Okay. So I called around in my home town today (midland) and nothing was open and no one was of any help. Called Saginaw.....nothing. So I got online and therepairclinic.com had all the parts I needed. I was going to order them overnight but I found out they are in Canton, MI. 2 hours...

I super appreciate that. I have it all torn apart and not a bunch of time to test though. I found all the parts except the damn wire locally. What can I use instead of the wire? or any replacements at a big box store? It is carrier part no 301286-702 Thanks

^^^^super helpful!!! Thanks. I'm headed to the store tomorrow. Will keep you posted. Thermostat is fixed and still having issues

When I Ohm it where do I put the leads? And if the noise comes on that means it is good or bad?

So i was correct then? The beige rectangle with the orange wire is the igniter? You're saying to replace the orange wire? I didn't replace it but I cut off the corroded end. It appears to be in good shape otherwise. That led me to the igniter control module or the actual igniter itself

That picture is all there is

This?

Is the igniter in the flame box?

I had to remove the bottom panel of the flame box to get to it. Then the bracket had 2 awkwardly placed screws. The the igniter was held in by a tiny rusty screw. Anyways I got it out. I will check the error code when I get the new Tstat. It took a **** after all this started. So that...

Is this what you are talking about replacing and not the whole ignition control module? This thing was a ****** getting out!

Is there any specific type I need? Just a 4 wire with battery? Yes, the furnace may need replaced soon.

How do I get the igniter element out? Pull the orange wire off then just grab some needle nose and pull it out towards me? I have heard the element is fragile and I don't want to break it. Should I just replace both items? What about replacing the orange wire? It did seem rather corroded on...

Another question. Do I actually need to test the flame rod that heats up? Or just replace the spark igniter box? Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I love this site. Any recommendations on a new thermostat? Mine took a **** too. I was able to fab it up to start working again but I need a new one ASAP and I should be able to work on that today and then get the igniter tomorrow. It is a 4 wire with a battery. My...

You mean the spark igniter that I am holding in the picture correct? Thanks Anyone know where to get this part quickly? I doubt any of my big box stores like home depot will have it and it is New years day?

Here are some pics

No its not but it certainly isn't the biggest dust free zone. I will take a picture of the ignitor and post it up here with some other pics of my setup. But when I pulled the orange wire off, brown dust (disintegrated wire) fell out. So I figure that means something!

Okay, newbie here so bear with me fellas. I like to learn and I am patient so please be patient with me. This forum helped me tremendously last year when I installed a generator plug in my house. The amount of electrical that I learned from the process was amazing and I thank everyone for...

I think the issue here is that you can send power through the sub panel and back into the line without having to turn off the main
