thanks for the help - and i'm glad to hear that the aux. batt. is possibly wire correctly. however, i'm a little confused. if the fridge should NOT work w/ the ignition off, but it is suppose to be the only device connected to the aux. batt. then doesn't that defeat the purpose of an aux. batt.?? i mean, wouldn't the fridge work exactly like that (only on when the ignition is on) without the aux batt.? i didn't wire the aux. batt.. what is the best way to figure out if there are other devices wired to it?
