The fan cycles, but will not light. Any suggestions?
Since you have an outside access panel directly to the front of the furnace your TS is super easy. If the blower runs but you hear NO popping sound from ignitor and dont smell a whiff of propane then check the sail switch.

It makes continuity to the entire circuit after the blower runs.. If sail switch has some lint, dog hair etc on the outside it will prevent the paddle arm from moving enough to push the plastic detent switch in to allow the switch contacts to complete the circuit.

Also right on that furnace circuit board is a RED LED that will flash the trouble code..
If you are lucky and its just a dirty switch its a five minute fix.
