Also check to see that the burners are clean in front of the flame sensor. The board sends a milliamp signal through the flame sensor and to a ground, which should be the burners in front of it. Flame will conduct this signal and gas won?t. That?s how the board knows the gas is ignited, by sensing the completed circuit. When I was in the field anytime I changed an igniter or cleaned a flame sensor I always took out the burners and cleaned them too. I would not use sand paper or like material to clean the sensor as it will start to groove the sensor and stop working well quicker as the junk builds up. I use a steel brush from my cleaning kit. As others have said, it sounds like a poor ground somewhere.

Thermostat is programmable but definitely not smart.

Dang, we've been in this house for 20 years and never had any furnace problems. Just change filters.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.....
Only two wires between thermostat and board:
Red and white.
It has always been like this.

And, btw, the moment I put the old flame sensor in it restarted just fine.
Is my furnace allergic to new parts???

Died again.
Same deal.
Jumped the two thermostat wires to bypass the thermostat and it started working.
Going for a new thermostat.
Maybe I did have two bad thermostats and third time is a charm?![]()
