Subject:Fridge Question - Maybe Aux. Batt. Related

(Preface:
i'm the one that had the westy catch on fire in the instrument cluster
area.)

i went to check on the van today and it's almost ready to bring home.
the mechanic and i were discussing the aux. battery - he was telling me
that it wasn't wired to function while the ignition is off (contrary to
how it is suppose to work).  while we were talking (with keys in hand
and ignition off), i noticed a buzzing sound coming from the fridge
(most likely the fan or something).  i opened the fridge door and
looked inside, the fridge was in battery mode and there was definitely
something being powered, however, the fridge wasn't cold.  what does
this tell me????

thanks for your help!
dusty.
