OK I took the timer out of the panel and as I shake it some small loose part is rattling around inside it. I have not been able to identify the GY connection, but I think I have identified most of the others. I have only tested the BK-BU so far and it was good, but that rattling sound makes me think this is the problem. By the way, does it damage the timer to turn the dial backward?

OK the T-W switch in the timer is always 1.8K no matter what the position of the dial. Since the W wire goes to the 5M terminal on the motor, it makes sense that would cause the motor not to run. I assume the motor running is what closes the 1M-2M switch to turn on the heat too. So I put a jumper across T-W, turned the dial to auto dry, plugged it in and pressed start and IT RAN! So it is definitely the timer.

Thanks for all the help.
