Subject:      refrigerator help
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Hi all I been trying to search the archives for help on this, but they
are timing out.

  I just installed a 12 volt marine battery under my back seat; there
was allready a marine case under the seat, and wiring coming off which
appears to be a relay. I then wired the two wires coming from my fridge
area to the battery, which makes my fan on the back of the fridge work
great. The led meter on lights up, water pump works, but no 12 volt on
the fridge (which would not be a problem, but at about 65 the gas blows
out). I opened the cupboard to the right of the fridge and found a
connector with the following result

coming from fridge  brown wire connecting to a white wire
coming from fridge  blue wire connecting to two black wires which are
cut or one is cut
coming from fridge  black wire connecting to two red live


when pulling the connector off the fan stops, so I am assuming this
powers the fridge. My concern is the cut black wires or wire. I have
read that there are ways to bypass the switch that controls the 12 volt
operation when the van is running. I would ultimately like to run with
it like this. If anyone can put some insight on this wiring I would
much appreciate it. The fridge works great at 110 and LP.


Thank You

Johnny
