jazzdeck Where exactly are you getting the 20 volts from, at the relay terminals themselves?

You might be able to use one of the other terminals such as the E1 or E2 but I don't have the schematic to tell you for 100% certainty as to which one. With one probe connected to the other side of the line you should be getting 120 volts coming from at least one of the terminals of the relay when its turned off. When its turned on you should get it from both. Is this the case?

the 20 volt readings are on the terminals that connect to the igniters. they are E9 & E5 the other side of each relay has 120 volts. the 20 volt reading seems to be because the relays don't stay closed. they open and close so fast that they sound like they are vibrating. the third relay is yhe cooling fan which works fine.
