Please Help! I have a Lennox Pulse model #G14Q3-80-19. Installed in 1995. Indicator light comes on after cycling for 5 minutes- glows red- light turns off after cycling power then light comes back on after another 5 minutes. Please advise if you know what the problem might be.

You need to have a Lennox servicer (qualified on PULSE furnaces) to check the system. Pulse furnaces are not serviceable by just any service technician/homeowner.

if i don't misunderstand what you depicted, you saw the ignitor working, right? if so, the problem could be a dead gas valve.

I like fixing everything.

the red light that's on is the diagnostic indicator light. it's inside of a black rectangular box. It's an automatic ignition system. the blower works because the furnace kicks on and blows air, but that's it.

Have someone at the thermostat call for heat while you are at the furnace. Tell us everything you see and hear... make a timeline. We need to know at what point the ignition process stops. The small blower (draft inducer), if present, should start immediately. Then some form of ignition should happen... either a spark or a glowing element. Then the click of a gas valve opening followed by the main burners igniting.
