   Hi,
   I bought a new ignitor and clip for one burner that didn't work at all. But, the problem appears to be a grimy connection between the igniter and the wire to the spark module. I took one burner apart, cleaned the burner base and old igniter to remove the grime. The connector on the spark wire that connects to the igniter was pretty gross. I used solvents to remove the cooking goo and then used a pin to try to scratch up the inside of the connector. Using a safety pin stuck in the bottom of the igniter connector, I made sure there was continuity between the pin and the igniter hat once the wire was installed on the igniter. That seems to have solved the problem.
   
   To get at the igniter wire, I used a socket wrench to remove the brass gas pipe in the burner base, then I ran a knife between the larger metal burner plate and the glass cooktop surface. In doing this, you are actually cutting thru a seal that can be reused later. Once you go all the way around, the assembly comes up and you can clean the igniter wire.
   
   I looked into just buying new igniter wires to the spark module, but they are $50 for a set of 5 and I really don't see the need to buy new wires.
