Subject:Pulled out my stock fridge - now my faucet doesn't work...??
From:Devin van Tongeren

I removed my domestic fridge the other day (I have an outboard electric
fridge and so bought and installed an 'eliminator kit' from Gowesty - now,
instead of a small fridge I have a great big cupboard).  Between the Bentley
manual and the Gowesty instructions, the removal of the fridge was not too
hard.  It is suggested that one pulls the ground from the battery while
working (ie removing) electrical items but as the ground on my auxiliary is
a pain to pull, I pulled both fuses from the secondary galley fuse box (the
red and white fuses found in the box behind the drivers seat).  When the
shelf kit was installed, the fuses put back in, and everything cleaned up I
went through everything to make sure it all worked and low and behold, the
faucet does not!  I can't quite see where I would have interrupted live
power to the water pump - does it possibly ground through the fridge??  I
have replaced both fuses with the thought that a) one or the other was in
poor shape already or b) I damaged it when removing or reinstalling.  This
has not fixed the problem.  Any suggestions what I might have inadvertently
done, or how best to rectify the situation?
