While the diagram is for the passenger model, you have a Westy. IIRC
various people have reported that there is an additional red wire from
fuse 9 that goes to the Westy kitchen for 84/85. It powers the sink pump
and fridge. The Bentley is a little light on specifics of where the 85
Westy kitchen power comes from. The red wire to the kitchen should be
one of the larger wires in there.
