The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner. And when this little flame fails to operate properly or go out, it's one of the most common reasons a gas furnace will fail to operate.

It could be different for every house.A side note: I'm taking that you mean where is the pilot light located in side your furnace? Depending on the of your furnace it's very possible your furnace does not have a pilot light, in fact it may have an ignition system with a flame management sensor. Try this; turn off the system with the main electrical cutoff switch, wait for about 2 minuets, turn on the switch raise the temperature of the thermostat high enough for the furnace to come on, this should work if it does not try one more time. If that fails call a HVAC & R technician.
