I think you have a panel problem, or possibly a panel connector
problem.   Start the engine and briefly jumper B+ to D+, see if it
doesn't start charging.

Look at the panel.  There's a resistor (the fat one) in parallel with
the LED/resistor combination.  If that resistor isn't in circuit,
there won't be enough drive and you'll experience the symptoms you've
been getting.   The tipoff here is the light going on from the fridge relay.
