If it were my van, I'd remove the fridge and clean the cumbustion chamber. Hook up a BBQ to the fridge (while it was still out), and with the cumbustion chamber apart, watch for ignition, and watch for propane (use a BBQ lighter), and make sure that the heat sensor override is right above the flame. etc. Also with the fridge out, one can more easily trace the 12 volts. I once found that my igniter, was shorting out in back of the fridge, and the only way I found that was with the fridge out. if anyone wants to see photos. try: http://photos.yahoo.com/mwstebbins and click on "fridge flame". also my fridge posts are located at: http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0310A&L=vanagon&P=R15793 and http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0308D&L=vanagon&P=R16178 These may or may not help. malcolm
