Please help troubleshoot Purex triton minimax plus

[1slowcrx]

Hi everyone, i have a older minimax plus that was working great. I went to try and turn it on yesterday and the service light is on along with just the power light. pilot is not doing anything. but when i turn the temperature down the service light goes away but still no pressure or heat light comes on or any spark from pilot. i tried jumping the pressure switch/wires and still nothing. I would greatly appreciate any suggestion on what i can try and check thank you.

The lights on the left of the controller go through the loop.
-tstat
-aux
-pressure
-heat
If the power light is the only thing on, most likely the thermostat is bad. Jump the tstat to confirm(test only). It’s the most common part replaced in those heaters.

do you have a picture as to how to jump the tstat?

Do you have this main board behind the knobs and controls? The two screws should drop the rectangle panel down towards you.

yes i have a board that looks similar to that. i can get a picture when i get home

this is the front and back. if I turn the pool temperature down the service light turns off but that's it, nothing else happens.

That thing is ancient.
Here is your manual

Figure 5 says there is a reset button for the thermostat from overheat.
