My heater stopped working on our last trip for no reason at all. There is one wire that has a spade type clip that is just hanging. There are three wires that are attached to the tank and I can't see where there are anymore connections. It is brown . I guess I'd better start looking at some of the local tanks to see what they have. My tank has to be removed from the outside. I suppose that it could be the circuit board and I could call Dinosar Products to see what a new board costs.

I bought a board last year and there was an extra wire. If it tries to fire, but just won't light; try cleaning the combustion tube. I do it with a water hose spray nozzle and spray on the top left corner. This causes the trash and dirt daubers to flow toward the burner.

Dennis,
I had my water heater stop a few weeks ago, and is seemed that the gas valve was not opening. I checked each of the two control solenoids for operation by switching the wires feeding each, with the other, and listing for a very quiet ‘click’. This found that one of the solenoids was not working. I removed the gas valve, (gas shut off) and removed the solenoid coil, and unwound, repaired the break, and rewound the coil, and replaced, tested, and it all worked again. Hope this helps.
