Subject:87 Westy fridge wireing question
From:j
Date:Tue, 18 Jun 2002 11:21:00 -0700

Hi all,
   I've searched a million places, scoured my Bently
and any Dometic manuals I can find, but I'm still
stumped.
   As the norm, the fridge in my '87 Westy runs fine
on AC, questionable on DC and won't light on gas.  So
I pulled it to clean and inspect.  And came up with
the following questions.
 1.) Has anyone found a way to test the fridge on gas
without putting it back in?  I'd like to know if this
is possible b/c it is kind of a pain in the arse to
get in and out.
 2.) I've seen and read all the usual tips and tricks,
but has anyone come across a truly great one? :)
 3.) This is my real question: Attached to the gas
control unit (the little button you press and hold
while operating the piezo lighter on the pump knob) is
a single black wire.  This little black wire runs off
to under the sink where it just disappears into a
larger loom of wires and off into who knows where.
Now, I'm grabbing at straws here b/c I can not get the
fridge to work on gas at all, but I have no idea what
this wire is.  I can find no reference to it in any
literature and no one seems to know it.  Does anyone
know what this is and do I need it.  If a picture(s)
would help please contact me directly and I will post
some.  Thanks for any help,
j
