Switched from shore power to generator and now the piezo lighter keeps clicking. Turned off the electric to it but any suggestions before I start trying to fix it, like what to look for any thoughts would be appreciated.

Piezo lighters create their own electric charge (spark).  ???

A relay initiates it. the only type that "create" it's own is spring loaded.

perhaps one of the burner control knobs is stuck ?
is this a residential stove ?

Sorry, I wasn't aware they made one with the relay for RVs. We replaced our range a while back and the only kind available that we could find are the noisy spring jobs. Sound like a gun going off, especially in the morning when you're trying to be quiet  ::)

i wasn't either, I simply asked if it was residential. In a conversion many are.

No is a RV type found some shorted 12 volt wiring in the bay that had nothing to do with the stove. The clicking coming from the stove stopped when I turned one of the circuit breakers off hope to get to trouble shoot it this weekend.
