Odyssey 4x4 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hey all, I figured maybe someone would find the info useful so I am posting this here. My 87 Escaper water heater ignitor wasn't working so I wanted to get that taken care of. The previous owner put it a new sparker itself, but the problem was in the board. I took the board off and googled the part number and found a few but they were priced at about $150. Upon further research I found a board made by Dinosaur electronics that was supposed to be compatible with my heater. It cost me $55 on Ebay. I had to trim down the rubber piece that covers the part that snaps onto the little sparker thing. I pulled the old board off and plugged everything into the new board and gave it a test. Upon nothing happening I figured maybe the problem was elsewhere, then it hit me! No literally, it shocked the heck out of me. So hey I was happy it worked! I just wasn't aware it had a built in delay. So for $55 bucks it was totally worth the fix and another thing crossed off of my list. Here's a video of it in action. Thanks for the read! Maybe this will help someone out with a similar issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Those Dinosaur boards are very nice they also have boards for generators, furnaces and fridge's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey 4x4 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yup it performed flawlessly. My fridge auto light does not work but I have no had a chance to look at it yet, would it be able to use the same board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
