Atwood furnace 8535-IV issues

Furnace will kick on and quit after a minute. I do not hear a clicking noise from the igniter. I disconnected the wire from the round black auto ignition on the circuit board and put a test light on the auto ignition. I didn’t get any power to the auto igniter when I turned on the furnace. Does anyone know if that should have had a pulsing power indication. TIA

Verify that the sail switch is making. This switch senses airflow when the blower is running. If the airflow is low, nonexistant, or the switch is bad, the the gas valve will not open.

Update on my furnace issue. 1/2 of my squirrel cage had disintegrated so my sail switch wouldn’t activate! Thanks for everyone’s help! You guys are awesome!

Just for your information, that little black thing that has a wire going to the igniter, is a capacitor and puts out a lot more than 12VDC. It's similar to an ignition coil.

In the future, that model has an LED that will flash, giving the IGNITION CONTROL DIAGNOSTIC CODE for a fault. It will be in the manual.
