Never mind, I switched the supply voltage to 115, flipped the conversion plug & changed the igniter. It fired right up. Jandy really blew it on the 230 volt setup of this model!
You should first start with converting the unit to run on 115 VAC if you can. We had a unit that went thru three ignitors, 2 selector boards, two main boards and a transformer in one summer in part because the electronics in that model are sensitive to spikes and spikes on a 230 circuit are worse than the same spikes would be wired for 115. Jandy was the source for that recommendation, not us.
Anyway, consider changing the line voltage and thoroughly inspect your main board to be certain it is not damaged. Assuming the main PCB is ok your best bet with a new part should be low voltage. Since we converted the unit we were working on it has been trouble-free.

John, I've noticed you on a lot of the Jandy lite 2 posts. I'm working on one that is wired for 230 volts & jandy also recommended converting to 115v.
The heater keeps blowing igniters, there is 24 volts at T1 & T2 at the board igniter terminals. It should be 115 volts. This shouldn't be blowing igniters though. I think they are shorting to ground in the igniter hole.
Have you seen this? I did notice jandy made a retrofit igniter kit to relocate the igniter on the far right burner but this is for the model year after the one I'm am troubleshooting.
