[QUOTE="JacobDaddy, post: 2681938, member: 7280"] Just tried that between the two terminals with a paperclip. No change. I followed the following procedure: 1. Jump terminals with switch in off position 2. Switch NG Gas Log fireplace to the on position 3. Hold jumper in place for approximately 30 seconds 4. Switch off and on, waiting about 10 seconds in between. Then I looked over and saw that the NG gas valve was on (ball valve) but the NG gas log was set on pilot. I moved the valve to the on position and things started working. Turned the switch off, burners off, switch on, burners on. Rinse and repeat 20 times or so without failure. So I decided to put the "wood" back on it and try again, worked, put the metal grate over the front and try again. Worked. After putting it all back together, I did have one time that the system didn't run after switching to the on position. But I turned it off and back on again and it worked fine. I will do some more testing for functionality in the morning just to make sure everything is running ok. Would jumping the thermopile connectors have done anything, or was it just stupid user all along? Looking back through the pictures (Thermopile off picture) it would appear the gas valve was in the Pilot position during those tests also. Man I hope you fixed it dennishoddy, if so I owe ya a cold beverage of your choice! Hopefully this makes momma happy! [/QUOTE]
