As for the 91 fridge relay needing the DRL relay to be present there is
a clue you can almost dig out of the Bentley DRL wiring diagrams. The
fridge relay blue wire is normally plugged into pin G4 of the main relay
panel as shown in the camper wiring sections.

But, the 89/90 and 90/91 versions of the DRL both use pin G4 themselves.
So page 200.239 shows a blue wire expansion connector available from G4
as part of the DRL harness for 89/90 DRL version.

This changed for 90/91 DRL and instead there is an extra blue wire
expansion coming from the output of the DRL relay for the tail lights,
shown on page 97.242 current track 5.


This seems an odd change by VW but there must have been a reason.
