Replaced fridge circuit board, now lights won't even come on

I was having issues with my fridge. It was only working when on propane, but then it stopped working on propane too. The lights would still come on.

Based on a recommendation from this board, I purchased the Dinosaur board I needed. Hooked everything up the same way as before, but now the lights won't even turn on to the fridge control panel. Any ideas what to do?

Had a board problem with a Norcold last winter while in Florida. Because I was under warranty, mobile repair had to jump through hoops to get a new board. After it was installed, still no fried. A call to Norcold disclosed that you had to do a reboot to get the board working.
I suspect this may be the same issue for you. A call to Dinosaur should clear it up.

Make sure the 12v polarity is correct. Do you have 120v?

In my vague memory, I had a similar issue a few years ago with a replacement Dinosaur board. I called Dinosaur and the guy walked me through a sort of reboot of the board, which involved something like removing a certain fuse and a few other steps, then re-inserting the fuse. So I suggest calling them if you can't figure it out.

Check the 12 volt fuse for the refrigerator.

Check the fuses on the new board.
