Now what happens is that the heating element comes on but does not go out and ignite the gas. There are basically a pink and white wire that goes together and connected to the assembly to the right of the air duct. The black goes to the other terminal off of the air duck. Everything seems to look fine but no gas ignition. I don't smell any gas at all. It is turned on during this test.
