LED panel connector: pin 1, yellow to faucet switch then yellow to water pump. Also jumpered to pin 4. pin 2, green to water level sender pin 3, black to reefer thermocouple at T1 pin 4, red to cold end of 8-amp fuse at door pillar, also red to reefer fan at T3a/1, also jumper to pin 1 pin 5, open pin 6, black to reefer ground at T3a/2 and thence to chassis ground.

Brown wires from water pump and level sender connect together and thence to chassis same place as the reefer ground.

Reefer relay (mounts under driver's seat) 2.5 Red from battery to 87 and 1.5 Red from 87 to 8 amp fuse (hot side) at door pillar. 2.5 Red from pin 30 to 16 amp fuse at door pillar and thence to reefer T3a/3. 0.5 black to alternator D+. 0.5 red/black to ignition switch terminal 50

Goes to the green wire. The taped-up black wire goes nowhere.
