Hi to all doityourselfers- New to the site. Have an issue. Woke the other morning - COLD! ha! I live in ohio, and we're getting blasted by some pretty cold weather. Of course I wake to find my carrier furnace trying to start, kick on the igniter - nothing. I replace the igniter. - still nothing. replace the board - igniter lights. no gas flow though - I thought maybe I tripped a switch....tried the switch above the unit ( attached to the inside ceiling. two wires come out of that. it didn't make a clicking noise as I've read around - so figured that was okay. also have the gas switch on/off. I smell no gas. Seems like I can hear it moving in the pipe. and also thought I might have heard what seemed like water. At any rate - When I turn the breaker on, turn the gas switch to on ( taped the bottom door switch). the blower comes on almost immediately - I turn the stat to a temp that's higher than the room and it attempts to kick on ( the spinner ( not sure what the name is) spins....after about 5-8 seconds the igniter lights, but I cannot get any type of gas to flow - I Don't smell it or anything. Wondering where I can find where to open it back up or could it just be that I need to get a new 'pressure switch' - my terminology may be off...my understanding is the pressure switch enables the gas to flow through the burners, and the igniter gets the red/then white hot glow ignites the gas coming from the switch right?... could i just have that bad of luck and the board/igniter and pressure switch all went bad? btw - I don't have a meter. I know that's an issue, but I'm in this for some time and it's become quite personal, so I'd be happy to feel like an idiot and flip a switch if that'd work. I can supply pictures assuming this forum allows them ( just registered and wrote this message). Thanks everyone for any assistance. :wall::AIO:

Don't know the year exactly guessing mid 80's has a black box with t1 t2 spark ignitor sends spark to pilot and it lights after that the 3 wire switch is suppose to send 24v to the main gas valve but does not replaced pilot with brand new one if I jump 24v to the red wire on the main gas valve it fire the main burners could this be possibly that the spark igniter is gone bad there is only two wires coming out of this box and one is common to ground and the other is blue going to the gas valve and then jumps two the pilot I am only getting like 9v out of this wire when the pilot is lite is this where the 24v is suppose to come from is there somthing wrong with the black box and it is not getting 24v out from there. also have my pilot mounted horizontally does it need to be mounted differently so the metal that acuates the switch is more affected. gone as far as my technical skills will carry me appriciate any help thanks:)
