I hope, despite this being an older thread, that I will get an answer. I thought it best to continue this one rather than starting a new one.
I recently installed a battery-powered barbecue sparker to replace my piezo. It works great; it lights my Dometic 2193 three-way fridge very quickly. However, the flame keeps blowing out in windy conditions, even after I fashioned a wind shield to slip around the flame assembly. (The flame stays lit in calm conditions so I know it doesn't go out due to a faulty thermocouple.) It has been very frustrating to leave for day-long hikes and come back to a warmed frig, especially after the hassle of leveling the truck to avoid damage to the propane fridge. (Geez. I wonder if it would be possible to design a mount that allows the fridge to self-level, within reason.) I'm hoping to solve this problem by upgrading to a reigniter.
As others have mentioned, the Atwood 93212 is no longer made. The Robert Shaw 785-002 9v-battery model includes an electrode, nicely-insulated wires, and mounting hardware but the cheapest I could find it for was $97. I found a 12v reigniter on ebay for $29. It didn't come with any wiring instructions so I'm hoping someone can double-check my assumptions. I know the center terminal is for the electrode wire. There are three other holes but only two other terminals. Based on the sticker, it seems obvious that "A" in the photo below connects to the (+) side of my 12v wiring and "B" connects to the (-) side but previous pictures of the 9v reigniter shows a ground wire, too. Is this reigniter grounded through the 12v system? If not, how can I ground it without a designated terminal?
