Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm 400 R13 board - No Voltage to Ignitor

Test every igniter you get. Even Pentair is shipping some clunkers.
 
I installed the new Fenwal module today and that solved the issue. As soon as I did that I started getting 110V to the igniter. I installed the new igniter which measured 52 ohms and fired it up. Everything works fine now. Thanks for the help! I was thrown off because the tech I had hired installed a different Fenwal module that he had on his truck - it was obviously used and I don't know if it was the same catalogue number or not. I'm just glad to have it resolved. I may open up the old module to test components on the board just as a side project to mess with. I'm guessing without looking at it that there may be a failed relay or capacitor on the board.

The arrow points to the Flame Current test points.

The picture was used for a different thread where I was pointing out those points, so it was not intended for any purpose on this thread.
