On my norcold, the temperature control knob is the gas-light knob. I nee to push in on the temperature control knob while lighting and hold it for several seconds after. This allows the automatic off for the pilot light to be bypassed while the thermistor is heating up from the gas. While I hold that knob in, I'll see the red needle go up to the top of the green zone on the gauge. I'll hold it several seconds longer, then release. If it doesn't light, the red needle will drop slowly, so I start over and hold the gas on longer.
I do know know if DC power is required while running on propane, but I do know the internal light bulb lights when in gas mode, so I know power is switched. In the off mode, the light is off. In AC, DC or gas mode, the light goes on with the door open
Some fridge models have the gas override on the striker button. You push in for a spark, but you hold it down as the thermistor heats up and the gauge goes into the green. Yours might be like this also.
