Connect the ignitor, light and battery. See Fig 1. Using a dry cell battery or continuity tester, apply voltage to the signal input terminal of the ignitor unit. Test light should light when voltage is applied, and go out when voltage is removed. If not, ignitor is bad.

NOTE: This test can only determine when ignitor is bad. Even if ignitor tests good, it could still be defective.
Fig 1: Checking Ignitor With Battery & Test Light Use low-voltage dry cell battery or ohmmeter.
