You have to get into the burners chamber. The flame rod is in there.
It looks a nail right beside the burner and it would have one wire tied to in. The need to be cleaned with some sand paper every few years. It might not look dirty but they get a coating built up on them.
Check that water leak in the right corner under the black inducer fan.
Water coming out of the 90+ furnace has a little acid content, so that will rust through the metal. later Paul

The two yellow on the right look like a thermal switch. The two yellow on the left look like they go to a a screwed in plate. The burner looks like its up on the right around the corner. I see no wires going there.
Whats the make and model# of the furnace.

DO NOT USE sandpaper to clean the flame sensor! Use a dollar bill to clean the sensor.
Remove the burner cover, and it's on either the left (It may be this one) or right hand side of the burner with a single wire going to a metal rod. (not the two wires one.)

in the burn box. You will need to open it. Clean the sensor with sandpaper and that will help. Also you need to look at the water since you have a leak (not RTV arund pipe etc)..And clean the thing!

NO! DO NOT use sand paper on the flame sensor! That will shorten the life of the sensor.. Just use a dollar bill to clean it.
