I own a 1996 Holiday Rambler Vacationer SE, Class A motorhome. This is my first RV and I've been fixing any issues (LOTS OF ISSUES! -.-) by myself to save money. I was having an issue with my water he...

Correct wiring is:
Brown (12V DC from On/Off Switch)-----to/thru thermal fuse----to/thru T-stat---to TOP Connector on Control Board
- (2nd space on connector empty)
Blue (12V DC from Control Board to Fault Light)
Red (12V DC from Control Board to/thru ECO ---to Gas Valve Solenoids to GRD (Both solenoids have to energize for gas valve to open/flow propane)
- (5th space on connector empty)
Green (12V DC Neg/Ground)
Spark Electrode High Tension Wire connects to 'voltage transformer' on Control Board....sends 2000V to Spark Electrode to ignite propane
Gas Valve only has power to solenoids for 6-8 seconds WHILE spark electrode fires.
Trace the DC Path
On/OFF switch ---Brown wire to control board, then Red wire to gas valve
If you have 12V DC all the way to/thru gas valve solenoids then you should be able to 'manually' light the propane using a BBQ lighter.
Where are you placing Brown wire to get Spark but no propane??
