Did you replace the battery and try inserting it both ways? While checking the battery make sure to clean out the ignition module the battery goes in with something like a Q-tip if needed.

Are all of your igniter wires connected? We recommend disconnecting and reconnecting all igniter wires to ensure no loose connections.
