    Pilot Light
    This is a tricky one. Furnace pilot light won't stay lit" already replaced the thermopile.
    That is the only electrical aspect.
    If I remove the programmable thermostat, and replace it on the wall, it resetts. I can go and relight the pilot, it will stay lit and it will light the furnace.
    When the furnace turns off, so does the pilot.
    After resetting the thermostat, I can go down and restart the furnace again.
    ONLY IF I RESET the thermostat, will the pilot stay on to start the furnace.
    Any idea?
    If you want more detail let me know, I can't find ANYTHING to help other than replacing the thermopile, NOTHING references the thermostat,
    Thanks.

    This one sounds too complicated to figure out online, Rcbusiness. I suggest that you contact a local HVAC company and have them come in to troubleshoot the issue.

    Good luck!
