Spark Ignition Switch Harness
The ignition switches are mounted on the gas valve stems behind the control knobs. Over time, grease or cleaning liquids penetrate the switch housing, creating a parasitic electrical path that completes the circuit to the spark module even when the knob is in the 'off' position. Replacing the entire harness ensures all switch points are renewed, eliminating intermittent shorts.

Top Spark Ignition Module
This module is the logic controller for the sparking sequence and often includes a re-ignition feature. If the internal circuitry responsible for flame sensing (flame rectification) fails, the module will continue to send high-voltage pulses to the electrodes because it cannot confirm that a flame has been established. This is a common failure in older modules due to heat-induced degradation of internal capacitors.

Spark Igniter Electrode
The ceramic insulator on the electrode can develop microscopic cracks that allow voltage to leak to the grounded burner base rather than jumping the gap to ignite the gas. If the spark is weak or occurring in the wrong location, the flame may not stabilize quickly enough to satisfy the spark module's sensing circuit, leading to persistent clicking during or after ignition.
