I haven't opened the engine yet but: based on what JonG wrote about firebox glow and the headlight both useing the same power board, in the engine, and since my firebox glow DOES work, It would seem that either the headlight 'connection' came loose or as was suggested, the LED went bad.
I'm still really baffled though: the light worked when I put it away, the engine was undisturbed while in storage, the light did NOT work at all after getting it out of storage, and geez, how often does an LED just go bad for no reason?
When I get around to removing the shell and looking, if it's not obvious (and to me nothing electronic is 'obvious') i'll take it to a local shop for a repair. I'm just so tired of spending money on repairs.
