thanks for the help - and i'm glad to hear that the aux. batt. is
possibly wire correctly.

however, i'm a little confused.  if the fridge should NOT work w/ the
ignition off, but it is suppose to be the only device connected to the
aux. batt. then doesn't that defeat the purpose of an aux. batt.??  i
mean, wouldn't the fridge work exactly like that (only on when the
ignition is on) without the aux batt.?

i didn't wire the aux. batt..  what is the best way to figure out if
there are other devices wired to it?
