GE Gas Oven Won't light ignitor issue?

[John H]

I have a GE gas oven model JGBP40WEH1WW. The glowbar / ignitor doesn't glow (and the oven won't light). The broiler works fine. I replaced the ignitor with a genuine GE replacement part, and it still doesn't work. I used my simple neon circuit tester (similar to

and it lit when I turned the oven on, and stopped lighting when I turned it off. (The part I got had no connectors, I had to cut the old ignitor's wires, and splice in the connectors using the ceramic wire nuts that came with the new part. I inserted my circuit tester into those wire nuts.) I've searched for an answer, and can't find anything. Would a bad thermostat cause this problem? There are no faults/error codes on my stove's display. Any suggestions?

yeah, should be a low resistance, not sure exactly what but I would say less than a hundred ohms
