If you have an Atwood Water Heater.
The fault light will come on when calling for heat , for a few seconds and then go OFF when it ignites and lights. The w/h has a 3 start board. It will attempt to light 3 times in about 3 minutes. If it does not light and stay lit, it will lock out and show the fault light.
If Suburban Water Heater, the fault will come on for about 10 seconds and while it is trying to light the fault light will go out. If it does not light the fault light comes back on and it will do this 3 time. IF it does not light on the 3rd try the fault light comes on and stays on. There is no fault light on 120 on Suburban water heaters. Doug
