Hi,
Attach it to any part of the metal box where the power comes in...or to the ground wire of the power feed..

are you certain the polarity of the wiring is correct?

I would install a new unit. when that fuse blows it means the board is bad and it is as many $ as the entire unit.

that small copper wire is a ground wire that goes from the lug on the heater to a water pipe. attach that wire to the pipe to ground your heater.

lightly tap bolt up

Do you have the model number? A lot of these systems use a pneumatic tube to send air pressure to a switch. If you have one of those, make sure the tube is not loose or cracked.

A sticky air button can be one of two issues.

1. The Air Button can simply be worn out in which case it obviously needs to be changed. Measure the size of hole once it is removed and then you will know what size you need to reinstall.
2. The inside of the Air Button may have some calcium built up inside where the button goes up/down. If you can get the center button up and removed then you can take some soft emery cloth and gently run around the outside edge of the button and the inside of the air button body. This will gently remove any calcium deposited there and allow the button to go up and down easily.
