LED panel is not necessary to operate fridge.  It runs off the kitchen fuse
(8 amp at base of driver's B pillar.  Fridge DC mode runs from 16A fuse
same place.  If no voltage on either fuse, likely there's a contact problem
either at the fridge relay under the driver's seat, or where the wire to it
comes off the battery.
