The service manual calls it the semi conductor. Page 16 of the service manual shows how to test it. I do not think it can be by passed. However, I do the believe that this part can not be the reason the unit is not heating. Page 29 of the service manual shows how to test the heat circuit to get to the faulty part. This part not listed on the flow chart as a part that could cause a no heat issue.

no power going to the gas valve but all sensors are checking good

Sounds like you must have a bad control board then.

I changed that to lol

Wow. That’s a strange one. I would go back through the service manual and see if there’s anything you’re missing and run through the no heat troubleshooting chart. Maybe you have a wiring issue somewhere losing voltage.

would a bad gas valve make it not glow?
-
the thermistor reads 13.2 that’s good

A bad gas valve would not cause the igniter to not come on since it is not an electrical component. The gas coils on the gas valve typically won’t cause this but it is possible they could. Some of these gas valves include the gas coils and you can not get the coils separate. I would check your flame sensor first. I believe you said you were not getting power down to the gas valve though, so the first thing you would need to do is find out where you’re losing power down to the gas valve assembly.
