Take a look at the igniter, most of the new ones use a AA battery and some electronics to generate a high voltage spark to light the gas. In the Florida heat and humidity, these do not last very long. If it is quiet, you should hear a slight clicking when you press the igniter button. In most cases, the button will unscrew to give you access to the battery.
Hope this helps.
