If the switch is electronic ignition you will need a 12v supply to it. It will spark continuously (and the switch will flash too) until the gas is lit. I'm not sure if the gas will stay lit if the 12v is removed.

iirc from what was said in a previous thread about this, once you turn the fridge the right way up again it needs to stand for quite a long time (e.g. overnight again) before you test it out.

On mine the switch only illuminates (flashes) when the ignition is sparking - it's off at all other times when running on gas. Not sure about 12V operation, but I suspect it's the same.

The switch only flashes as the igniter is sparking to light the gas. Once the gas is lit it stops, but should the gas run out it'll start flashing again and alert you to the fact.

I think its the same as with a domestic fridge after transportation. generally 24hrs before switching on. Not sure if a bus fridge is less due to the smaller condenser.
