Mine did the same thing.
Put a test meter on the sail switch. If it does not close the circuit the gas valve will not open.
The sail switch is the first step to finding the problem you have descibed. And it is only $10.

The igniter is not snapping trying to ignite and it is plugged into the house.

so you get solid continuity over the high limit ? you can jump the leads and if it fires then you know it's the high limit .there is or should be a sail switch . looks like a paddle attached to a contact. you have to pull the unit to see it . it's located on the combustion air side . if the fan is coming on and it's not one of the items above then i would go with PC board

Hi you checked the continuity of the high limit and it showed 0.5 ohms of resistances. This tells me that the hi limit is good and that the switch in the hi limit is closed and will let electricity flow to the ignition board. If you can trace the wire from the high limit to the ignition board and you have 12 volts there to the board. If you have 12 volts and no spark the board or the igniter/flame rod has a problem.

Hope this helps Tim
