We turned on the heat the other day but it wouldn't light =/ Every year I have to clean the flame sensor and all is well, unfortunately the ignitor isn't even glowing this time. I figure I may have a cracked ignitor, and want to take a multimeter to it to confirm, but am not sure exactly "where" to test. Would I just put it on the positive and negative cables coming from the computer? thanks!

(sounds dangerous) thanks!
