Subject:      Faulty fridge relay?
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hi all,
90 syncro westy.
My fridge has always worked fine on 110V AC and 12V DC.  Recently, it
doesnt' seem to get cold on the DC setting when I'm driving.  Also, this
past weekend, when I had stopped and shut off the engine, I could hear what
sounded like a refrigerator compressor running.  Since it's not supposed to
run when the alternator's not putting out juice, I suspected the relay.  Is
there an easy way to test, and are there other things I should be looking
at?
tx,
bmc  :)
