to clarify:

It's the square RED lamp at the upper right of the fridge controls, on
the 90-91 automatically lighting fridge, not the green LED.

battery seems to be good, and got same results when the engine was running.

it doesn't seem to be battery voltage; I'll check to be sure, but any
other suggestions?  anyone replaced the automatic igniter, or spark
plug?

thanks!

Sorry, I took it to mean the RED lamp (not LED) that indicates the
SPARKER, not the green LED that indicated the FLAME.
If it is the LED (which usually won't glow much until the flame has
been on for several seconds anyway) then you could be low on propane.

Isn't the sparker a piezo sparker? They don't use batteries.

A dim LED that goes out suggests to me that there was sufficient heat
(flame) at the burner to light the lamp, but it did not get very hot and
it went out. Not a bad sparker, else there would not have been any lamp
lighting at all.
