No, you have to check for power where the humidifier is tapped off of, either a transformer in the heating unit or terminals on the control board.

How do you post picture? Above the HUM connection. I checked voltage and it was 120 volts. Nothing before or after the transformer.

check the voltage output of secondary side of the humidifier transformer.

120 v in and no or low voltage out indicates that the transformer is bad, otherwise you have to check the wires feeding the humidifier and humidistat.

The HUM terminal is only energized when the furnace has a heat call. Did you check for voltage with the thermostat calling for heat, and the safety switch closed.

The wire on the W terminal. When the furnace is getting a heat call(with the safety switch closed/pressed) you should get 24 volts from W to C/common.
