Did you have 12 volts DC to refer?
I had lights about a month ago, but the problem has been much longer than that - thats why I thought I still had my batteries.
Put a trickle charger on them and I had power to the fridge.
Took the batteries to get them tested and they were at 10.55 and 9.88 volts.
Bought 2 new batteries, and even though I had power to the fridge, it would not start on gas - would click while it tried but never lit. Not sure if I just needed to try it more, but it normally does not take long to light.
I have an appointment on Monday(4/11) to have it checked out by professionals but we have a camping trip tomorrow...
I figure we will use the fridge as an ice chest, and run an extension cord from the cg power post into the trailer if need be.
Electrical problems are the worst for me as I know very little about it.
