<p>It is a battery ignition unit. The batteries are new. </p>
<p>Thanks for the link. It has a lot of good information. I couldn't find information on the location of sparker, however. I think I will follow Todd's advice and trace the conductors. </p>
<p>This unit has given us a lot of trouble. Is the Peerless still the only game in town if we want to avoid circuit boards and phantom loads, and run on propane? I love the simplicity of the range, but it is cheaply made. Higher end Peerless ranges are pretty pricey. </p>
