I say it shouldn't matter where you set it-- the thermostat sends a signal as a relay (12v on or off) and not a rheostat/potentiometer (variable resistance based on the setting) to the furnace. If you didn't care about temp settings you could run the furnace with an on/off switch.

Thanks, that makes sense, I had the board tested today and it was fine. Bought a ignitor, will put that in and see if that's the issue. I'm getting ready for hunting season and can't wait.

I installed the ignitor, still no heat. I read that I should hear it clicking but can't seem to. Maybe it's me. I suppose if it's has spark if I so assume after testing the board and installing the ingitor then I'll look at gas next. I think I'm missing the old pilot light furnaces already.

have you tried the reset switch ?

Well, this is a bit embarrasing but perhaps someone will read this and and prevent their own Duh moment. The battery cables were reversed, corrected the polarity and bang she fired up. I was sitting on the couch watching football and comtemplating taking it in to a shop and it hit me to check the obvious.

Stan, where is the reset switch? That little white push-button that says "5" ?

The reset on mine is in the furnace on the outside of the fan shroud -- in the picture below it is the black square with the little white button on top in the right part of the picture...

Yeah, I thought so. That button does nothing for me. Thanks for the picture.

If the button is 'soft' it hasn't been tripped and will feel like it does nothing.
