This black wire is for the fridge light , the fourth one down on the left of
the LED display. If you don't have this fourth light down, then that would
explain why the wire is hanging free.

It is attached to the thermocouple which when opened, closes the switch that
  activates the fridge light.

If you do have four LED lights on the left side of the LED panel, then the
other end of the black wire plugs into a connector coming out of the main
harness.

1) My fridge is definetly an older model. No lights, ect during operation.
Just the pilot hole at the inside bottom left. On the front from the left
there is the pump, then there is a push in button with a hand symbol (index
finger pointing). This button on the inside metal valve part has a black
wire connected to it. On the other end of the wire is a spade connector
which is just hanging free. Any ideas what this goes to?? Should it have
power or ground? I suspect ground, but that goes against the other wires in
the setup.
2) Reading the vanagon.com site they talk about a small battery operated fan
to put inside the fridge to blow down on the coils. Where can I get one? I
have looked at camping world and saw no listing.

By the way this is a fridge ouy of a westy that I am fitting in my Syncro
GL. That is the reason for the wire Questions.

Thanks,
Randy
