When I got my '89 Westy a few weeks ago and was testing things out, I
thought the fridge wasn't lighting also--by looking at the inside lower
left corner of the box. However, when I turned the water/battery monitor
panel switch on, the lowest left light for the fridge was shining green. I
did find that the piezo needed to be done rapid fire two or three times,
but after I gave up on the lower left flame viewer and believed the
water/battery panel light, I lit it every time.
