This part was an exact fit, and my grill is up and running again. I ordered from eReplacement because it was the easiest site on which to find my part and the pictures and specs assured me it was the right part. Thanks for an easy buying experience.

Unscrewed the top cap of the ignitor. Removed the battery and spring, then removed the nut holding the igniter to the grill. I then replace the wires on the new one the same way they were on the old on. Then secured the new ignitor with the nut and placed the new spring and still good battery in and screwed on the cap.

Locate igniter which has battery inside, unscrew plastic nut, remove, disconnect two wires (make sure they go back to the same prongs), remove old igniter and install in reverse. Make sure to put the battery in the right direction. Note: battery is inside igniter.
Lay on ground while doing this since igniter at least in my case is below grill. Wear goggles to minimize debris in eye. Make sure all gas is off at tank and grill. Wait until grill is cool.
