The problem on the 120 VAC side was the WHITE (neutral) wire from the Element, back to the Coach Wiring, was open at the junction box I mentioned earlier.
It had been lighting on LPG, but not every time. While I was working on the water heater, I inspected the Electrode Assembly. Since it looked good, I didn't replace it. But I DID clean the ground connection and re-install with an anti-corrosion compound on the screw. The diagram doesn't show a GROUND on that assembly, just the "spark plug wire" from the Board, but it needs ground to work.
