Fridge works fine on AC. I'm not getting a spark to ignite the refrigerator. After a few seconds (45 according to the manual) of no spark it shuts down and the "CHECK" light comes on the fridge. I can light it using a grill lighter. It's running on propane right now.
I tried bleeding the lines by igniting the stove, no spark again. Opened the stove up and after jiggling the wires I had spark and the stove lit. Water heater and two furnaces are not affected.
Can anyone tell me what steps to take how I can troubleshoot for a spark?

If giggling the wires made it work, start by taking apart, cleaning (something like de-oxit) and making sure all the connections are tight, on both the ignitor and the PC board.
After you clean contacts try a little compressed air at the base by ignitor to clear away any dirt or rust
I'm guessing you have a Norcold. Here's my experience with the igniter unit on a Dometic: Dometic RM2802 (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=22822.msg175317#msg175317)
I think they are fundamentally the same. I think your next step (after trying the prior suggestions) is to see if a spark is being generated or not. If not then it might be the igniter.
Well after cleaning the area. (compressed air, plus shop vac, but no hammer thumping on the flue yet). I pushed the igniter closer. The manual states it must be as close as 1/8".
I ignited the propane using a grill lighter. I let it burn for a while and now she works on propane. Not sure what fixed it but it's working.

When that happened to my refrigerator it turned out to be a blown fuse in the 12 volt DC fusebox at the foot of the bed. Something else was on that same fuse and that's what gave me a clue to figure out what it was.
