Exclamation Hot Water Heater Suddenly Not Working!

Hi, all. I have a 1997 Sunline Solaris model T-2653. The hot water heater is not heating the water. Normally, when I turn the button on for hot water, it lights up red, then goes off. It stays on red when something is wrong. Today, it stayed on red; I was sure the propane tank must be empty (been using it continuously) and switched tanks. When I first pushed the button, the red light came on and went off as usual. But after a bit, the red light came back on and it is not working.


Do you have any suggestions for things I could do to try to identify the problem?


Thank you so much for help.

Just to add: I believe there is no propane problem and maybe no electrical problem. Maybe the pilot lighter burned out? How do I get another one for an old Solaris? The stove burners work OK. When I turned the hot water button to "On" inside the camper and tried to light the pilot inside the pipe, the gas whooshed out. Fortunately nothing got hurt! When I turned the hot water button inside the camper to off and again applied the flame to the pilot pipe, nothing happened. Also when I turn the button on, I do hear clicking.
