I have a 2021 R27 and my solenoid valve that allows the propane to flow isn’t working when I hit the valve button beside the stove. The green light is on on the gauge by the stove. And when I hit the button the second green light comes on. The solenoid valve does not make a noise and propane does not flow to the stove. The tank is turned on. I had a technician look at the valve and it worked when hooked to an exterior power source.
The wires go through a small hole in the gunnel and then go somewhere I can’t tell.

Is there possible an inline fuse on these wires ?

Any suggestions?
 
Likely failed connections where solenoid wires connect to 12V. On our R31 the failed connectors were in the propane box, if not there trace back.
 
On our 2021R29 there is a fuse in one of the fuse blocks in the midcabin.

There is a fuse in fuse box under cockpit sink in my 22 R31. I am having same problem though and it’s not the fuse.
does anyone have any suggestions?
 
The crimp on the wires between the propane locker and the stern failed. The crimp corroded as it just happened to be exactly in between the gap and was prone to splashing on the swim step

I originally replaced the solenoid but that still didn't work, look to see if the solenoid is getting 12V power when the green light is on. Ultimately I had to remove all the electrical tape and redo the crimps

Duh! It was my solenoid.
