Steven,
On my 90 Westy there are two fuses on the post behind the driver's seat. One
protects the fridge and the other protects the pump/LED circuit. (I think I
remember these fuses may be located in the box under the driver's seat on
some earlier models.) If the pump/LED fuse were blown neither would work...
though the cabin light would because it is not on the same circuit as the
fridge or the pump/LED circuits. One other, more ominous, possibility is
that the spark you mention blew the LED circuit board (expensive). That
happened to me and I have since learned to disconnect the battery or pull a
fuse BEFORE working on electrical circuits anywhere in the van.
Good Luck,
Bill
