Padre, thanks for the clue. I didn't realize they're not all the same. Ours is like Thunderman described, with both a lighted switch and a pilot light next to it that lights when the pilot is trying to light. On ours if it doesn't light within a certain amount of time the light will go off then come back on as it tries again. This switch on our 3295RK is almost on top of the water heater so I can hear the click as it tries to light and the pilot light goes on and off.

We keep the electric breaker turned off on ours since we're fighting breaker popping problems in general and don't need the extra amperage draw complicating things further. Newer models (starting with the late 2003 models) have a better electrical system less prone to this problem.
