I have a Caldera Alpine II with Balboa guts and it is not heating. I took the heating element out and tested it and it works fine. Everything else works, I am running it without the filter. The Control on top says the tempature (76). But the light right beside it to indicate that the heater is on, doesn't come on. Anyone have this problem or know what it could be?

I talked to Balboa and they told me it was probably my flow switch. Does anyone know how to jump it/ or test it to see if it is working right?

It looks like it has a Pressure switch and not a Flow switch.
Look at the first pic and see what looks like the pressure switch to the left of the control box screwed onto the heater. It has a grey housing.
