Hi all I have a payne furnace mode 490aav036060 serial#0996a23659. When I turn on the furnace all sounds normal until the hot serface ignighter try's to light nothing happens besides smell of gas. I replaced the hot serface ignighter with no change.

Sounds like you are going the same route as me igniter, pressure switch, then control board.
My problem was really the control board but it was damaged by leaking condensate, and the PS showed signs of getting wet too.
My fault for not cleaning trap and lines, Carriers fault for poorly designed secondary HE

I love the way people and some techs throw parts at the job until they hit it right. Wholesalers love that.
R U getting 120 volts to the igniter is the first place to start. You can carefully disconnect the molex plug at the igniter and check for voltage there up to the point where you smell gas going into the burners. If no voltage then the board is bad and at that age, 1996 unit, it more than likely is. Pressure switch is closed/proved/OK or the board would not turn on the gas to the burners.

There U go. :thumbsup: Try get an OEM Payne board as the generic aftermarket ones I don't like and the board is going to be a retofit now. Going to have a bunch of cables/harnesses and U need to be VERY careful how you plug this 16 pin flat connector onto the new board. Get it backwards and damage occurs. Usually if U look Very carefully at the board and the underside of that connector with a magifying glass there is a set of numbers 1-16 which need to line up and gives you the orientation. An OEM board in this case is better IMO. Carrier owns Payne so you may be able to get that board from a Carrier dealer. Try americanhvacparts.com but I don't know if they sell OEM parts, have to ask.
Good Luck

Yuri does it again! If you tap it and it works, it sounds like a bad connection, doesnt it Yuri?
Maybe that all importand ground screw is corroded? I would look at all solder joints with a Mag Glass and resolder any leads that look dull or like volcanoes.

It is 17 yrs old and the igniter relay is shot and VERY soon the rest of it will B 2 so it really is time for a new one.

thats the problem with those dammnn discount non OEM parts. cables suckk and instructions are worse. get the OEM part as there are some specific features and timing etc that Payne had that Carrier didn't etc etc and I am sure the generics know nothing about.

actually I meant the rest of the board is going to die/not feasible to repair but if you spent that much on repairs I would try make it last another 5 yrs. I looked at americanhvacparts.com site and it "looks" like they may have OEM boards but you should phone and make sure. the retrofit board/kit will have a different number but they can cross reference it if they don't have the original board (pretty sure they are gone).
WAY TO GO!!!!!! I often wonder why more folks dont fix their boards, rather then buy new. Ive been fixing other types of circuit boards for years!!! My biggest problem with fixing them is finding parts. you would think that the 5th largest city in the country would have at least one electronics parts store.... nope. I really hate internet ordering and waiting on delivery.
again, good job on the fix!!!
again, good job on the fix!!!
