1998 Intrigue Atwood water heater - gas

Yahoo Message Number: 105876
Is there a common cause for the gas part of the Atwood water heater to stop working? It worked perfectly when I parked it last fall, but now when I flip the switch on the control panel the light does not come on and the gas & ignition do nothing.
Here is what I know so far:

- The 120V AC electric part of the water heater works perfectly - The LP regulator and controls in the coach are working because my gas stove and refrigerator are working - I replaced the water heater sensors (the small 2-wire "disks") last year - I checked every fuse I could find under the dash and in the battery bays, all are good - I bypassed the fusible link wire at the water heater but that did not fix the problem

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark M

Black circuit board, from to outside cover open top right side. Remove single black connection clean and replace should work then. If not your circuit board needs to be tested and replaced if bad.

Does anyone know if there is a 12v fuse for the gas side of the water heater and where it is? It is looking like there is just no voltage going to the circuit board when the switch is turned on. The light at the switch never comes on, which I seem to remember it would come on briefly when turned on then go out while the burner lights and only come back on if ignition fails.
I checked all the fuses under the dash and the fuse box in the rear compartment by the batteries, did not see any labeled as water heater and all were good.

All the diagnostics seem to indicate no voltage from the switch to the heater.

Is there another fuse panel somewhere that I am missing?

Check to make sure your gas sniffers (detector) is on. This will not allow the circuit to be completed if it istill off.

Those who said "circuit board" win the prize. Cleaned all connections, checked the fusible link, verified power at the control switch, etc. etc. and finally brought the circuit board to a place that has a tester for these, and sure enough it was bad. New board, working great.

Thanks everyone.
