To test this theory, you can swap the potentiometer from the left rear valve to the left front and see if the problem follows the potentiometer.
FYI - The potentiometer is the square piece that slides oven the valve stem.
Also, can you provide me with the serial number of the range and part number you installed?

Serial number of range is 99050064. The part I replaced is called "Control Unit" on the packing slip. Make and Part # BSH 422882. It was not part of kit.
I did not replace the sparking control or either Pot. I will swap the pots and see if that tells me anything.
Thank you for you relpy!
(2 hours later) I swapped the potentiometers and now the formerly non-working burner lights and the formerly working burner doesn't. The problem is obviously the pot.
When I look at the parts catalog online I cannot find the pots for sale except in the kit you mentioned, and then I notice that the electrical contact tabs are on the opposite (right) side of the pots from the existing pots. Do you have a recommendation?
