I've been trouble shooting a problem with my fridge-- a Vitrifrigo, installed in '09, or maybe '08. I suspected the ground for my aux battery setup--under the L-F fender. It turned out to be that. I used a wire brush on my drill to clean down to shiny metal and then screwed down the (copper) ground post and everything is copacetic. Let me mention that in tracking down my problem, which could have been a failing fridge or other things, I used a DC clamp-on amp meter. Google Craftsman 82369. It is the only meter that will measure DC amps that I found, in the mid-price range. ($54) It was REALLY helpful. Anyway, here's my question for the electron jockeys: I measure higher amps going INTO my fridge (+) than coming OUT (-). I'm thinking that the fridge is using power (and putting out heat, noise, etc) and so that is OK. But.... Can someone explain what is going on, what should be going on, etc? Thanks! Richard
