thanks for your note.  this fridge happens to be out of a 90 westy.  is it
true that the tcoupler from this year needs 12v for ignitor??  also, i may
be hearing things, but once when i was pumping and and clicking i thought i
heard a tiny explosion in the combustion chamber, sort of like it tried to
ignite.  not sure if i really heard it though.  i am know running fridge on
120v from an extension cord to get things warm in the back of fridge.  i
heard this may help the ignitor.  however if this fridge need to be wired
for 12v my efforts are in vain.
thanks
jason
