My panel has 4 LED's for the water level which always made me think the bottom one was supposed to be the Fridge-Lit-Light, but it also has a standalone Green LED in the middle of the panel, which makes me think This is the fridge-lit-light. If that second wire goes to a relay that's already in place, should i just wire that to +12V ? same as the red wire? I was looking at the Bentley and it is confusing on the subject of having two lines. -Craig On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 4:06 PM, mdrillock <mdrillock@cox.net> wrote: > I doubt that your led panel has a fridge lit led. > The early panels had no switch and no pilot led. > Someone could have swapped the panel of course. > > No need for a switch as the panel takes very little power. > Early kitchens had a fridge relay mounted to the top of the fridge and the > other of the 2 wires to the kitchen controls this relay. > > Mark > > > craig cowan wrote: > >> Hello Vanagon Gang! >> I just finished wiring an aux battery circuit into my '85 passanger van >> turned full westfalia and have a few questions.... >> The Westfalia kitchen attaches to the aux battery >> with two connectors.
