Diagrams start 97.32.  There's a couple pages of text before it re the LED
panel -- basically correct but refers to an early version of the panel
where the water-pump feed was switched through a big transistor on the LED
panel.  They got rid of that and just jumpered the connection at the plug
to give constant feed.

The fuse box is at the bottom of the driver's door pillar -- 8-amp for
panel and pump and fridge fan; 16-amp for fridge heater.  Light is off the
standard courtesy light circuit.

Fridge power relay is under driver's seat -- supplies power to the 16-amp
fuse when alternator is charging.
