I would set the temperature dial to 1, ask my wife hold down the other red button inside, and light the pilot with a match. After making sure that the pilot stays lit, reinstall the box and set the temperature dial. (If someone questions the safety of this, PLEASE chime in.)

Yes, thank you for the reminder about lighting the pilot manually. I am indeed familiar with the little box with the metal door. I will keep that in mind if I am unsuccessful. However, I am hopeful that with the part arriving later this week I can get it working properly. Thanks to all for the input and insight. I will update on my success or failure later in the week.
