They make tiny #2 phillips ratchets. After 50 years of doing stuff like this... he should have it. That or use some pliers and just replace the screw after you destroy the head on it from getting it off
I have this exact same unit and just replaced the igniter and flame sensor. The igniter is an even bigger bitch. But the 1/4” socket and mini wrench is all you needed here
I think you have an intermittent control board. I have had this before on the older York furnace. Board relay sometimes does not supply a full 24 volts to gas valve.
Contacts failing on control relay. Sometimes they make proper contact, sometimes not. Seeing 2 volts to the control valve showed high resistance contacts that when closed, likely had a 24 volt drop out of the 26 volts shown when it did work properly
You have admire a man and his dog with such a work ethic! Personally I think it's Miss Molly that keeps it going. Pair of vise grips on the stubby screwdriver with a straight blade under it will do the trick too!
I'd always test the flame sensor before you clean it. If it's down around 1 uA or lower, that's probably your problem. If you're getting a higher reading, you have to look elsewhere.
Hey there Steve. I got a question not pertaining to this video. I’m wondering if you know how the 92 year old lady from Dartmouth is doing. I watched all three videos you made while working in her house. I’m talking about the lady that gave up her license. Those videos you put together with the conversation between both of you, were next level funny. I laughed so much that tears were running down my face. I know from reading the comments that many of your fans really enjoyed her. Hopefully she is still doing well. Take Care.
back in the 1980s in my old home I had replaced the furnace the next year had a problem with the gas valve the installers keep telling me it was the flame sensor I KEEP TELLING THEM THE FURNACE NEVER FIRED UP HOW CAN IT BE THE FLAME SENSOR took them 4 trips to my house to listen to me and changed the gas valve finely to fix it never had that problem again

That was it. I keep turning my phone to see what I was looking at...then the beeping drove me nuts ...I couldn't follow this video at all.Probably the worst video Steve ever made....IMO...
Steve I always use a 1/4 ratchet with a 1/4 socket and throw a Phillips bit in the socket for tight spots like this. Keep up the videos love em.

Was coming to say this
Need to get some offset screwdrivers mama! Thanks Steven.
Steve's workin' again! Ol' piece of York!

Bad relay on the control board is right.
Contacts failing on control relay. Sometimes they make proper contact, sometimes not. Seeing 2 volts to the control valve showed high resistance contacts that when closed, likely had a 24 volt drop out of the 26 volts shown when it did work properly
I’ve had the same intermittent issue. Ended up being bad solder joints on the back of the control board.
Heat wire to transformer bypassing board n if stays on. Bad board. Gas pressure should get checked too.

Steve, "2 volts thats fucked up"! 😂❤🎉

Am on another one with you. Great job
Wow I can see this video again and again great work taking your time abd getting it to work good
Stay safe and warm out there. Thanks for the video, Steve.
Good job Steve as always you and Molly take care
Check out the ground on the 24 volt Transformer maybe corrosion on the connection to the ground cabinet
Gotta get a MIlwaukee 1/4" m-12 ratchet with bits. Great for tight areas and fairly powerful.
The sound of the meter beeping made it sound like a real surgery and the furnace still had a pulse.
Forceps!
We gat ah leekah momma!
Howdy Steve and Miss Molly
It’s a piece of York mama
Luv the swareing
Steve is working again mama next level
Harbor Freight makes a 1/4" ratchet set that has a few different bits in it that would be perfect for tight spots like that!

Hello Steve!

Perfect 👌 gas
A pile of York, Steve
No leaka!
90 degree drill attachment.
Hello Steve
Pile of York
I think you’ve done like 8 videos on that same unit
It's a perfect training unit, full of issues.
I foresee another video coming on replacing the control board.
Looks like you need one of those little tiny mckee eat drills

Hey Steve, 963rd
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍. They always put those flame sensors in the worst places!
I think the designers were laughing when they picked that location.
Mikey Pipes would break it on purpose so he can bring out his iPad and charge the customer for a new replacement unit
With his gold watch and his scumbags-in-training.
I can't stand that guy, such a conman.
You think his worker is a scum bag. Why?

Horizontal furnace makes it more difficult to work on..
That was it. I keep turning my phone to see what I was looking at...then the beeping drove me nuts
...I couldn't follow this video at all.Probably the worst video Steve ever made....IMO...
is that a phillips, thats a phillips
I got an idea!! Turn on the "irritating beep mode" on your multi meter..... 🙂
A real pile of York! Steve Lav working again, ya'll!
A pile of york!!!!!
Thx.
First Steve hi 😊

Congrats
A Phillips head tool shaped like and Allan wrench might help in a tight spot like that.
