   Yes, that's correct. 

I turned everything off to start again using propane. 

Once that was all set up and I switched back on inside, the CSI light did not come on and didn't hear it trying to ignite.

I also have tried to hit reset again but those don't seem to do anything. I even took the rubber part off to see.

	So if you turn on the water heater switch inside, the Dsi light doesn't turn on? If it does, then you should hear a series of clicks. If you go outside, you should smell propane near the water heater, but don't get to close incase it lights and whoooosh, no eyebrows. If you smell propane, It's probanly a bad igniter.

	Ok, I've turned the outside switch to off. Hooked up propane and made sure lines were clear and working.(lit the stove) Waited 1/2 hour, ran the hot water tap and still cold water coming out. The outside vent is also clear What concerns me is that originally when I was using battery power, the CSI light came on and off trying to ignite. I went outside and the cover felt slightly warm so at one point it must have tried to ignite. But now CSI doesn't come on at all and I can't hear it trying to light up.

	There are two independent water heating systems, 120Vac and propane. If you are connected to 120 and the outside switch is on then the 120Vac heating element will be on. If that is making the tank hot enough then the propane system won’t try to heat the water. So turn that external switch off so you’re only trying to heat water with propane. Run the hot water out and see if the propane system works. If not, let us know what you’re seeing.

	If you turn the switch on inside the red light will come on , when the light goes out it means the propane is lit.
	If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd.

	Hello again, Just get one issue figured out and another comes up. I tried to get the hot water tank to light by flicking the switch inside the unit. I also set the outside switch to on. I'm using battery power and also hooked up to house power at the moment to test it. The DSI light at first was coming on and off and trying to fire up, but now is not coming on and not hearing it trying to fire up. Any suggestions?
