2AMP FUSE is good... pulled it and brushed the contacts just in case.
ECO AND TSTAT WIRES... pulled all wires and all have clean shiny connections.
THERMOSTAT... genius contact method of a spring pushing against the vessel to tell temp. I took the wires off and pulled the t-stat out. Looked good. When I re-installed it and flipped the gas switch... light on the gas switch came on (it hadn't been after I thought I'd fried the switch) gas activated three times and I could light it with a stick-lighter, but AGAIN, went out after 5 seconds.
HEATING ELEMENT... cannot remember if I killed the 110ac switch when I drained the tank, but it was drained for about 5 minutes total before I refilled it. Could the element have eaten/overheated itself in that amount of time?
