I have an 18 yr old Coleman 7956 furnace, 5600 BTU.
It has a manually lighted pilot light. Instructions are to turn the pilot switch to pilot and once the pilot is lite, hold it down for 60 seconds and it should stay on.
There is a strong spring loaded window-door that reads HOT on it. I must assume that the pilot light is located inside that door. (I can find no other entrance to the furnace insides)
Problem. I can't find the pilot point. i.e. I don't know where to hold the long match. I can't see anything straight in that looks remotely like a pilot point, and I cannot see downward very far, but see nothing that looks like one.
Help! Where is the darn thing?

If this is in a Mobile Home the pilot lite is at the end of the burner. You lite the pilot through the spring loaded door. It is a real pain and you will have to make a match holder out of wire to reach it. At the shop we had a special lighter on every service truck just to lite those and other furnaces that were hard to reach. Good luck.

This took care of my entire question. I just put a match on a long wire, lite it and stuck it streight in. Pushed the pilot down and it lit.

Thanks, hvac1000,

This helped me a lot, even though I didn't asked, just googled. But I assume that the guy from the HVAC service company did some kind of an odd job as he was cleaning out my burner just 7 weeks ago; the pilot lite came off just in the middle of the worst winter storm we have so far this year here in Illinois. The burner doesn't sound very clean as well while its burning, so I guess I have to claim a re-service since I believe it was not cleaned well enough.
