Anyone know what this is??
Ok so I'm not great with electrical stuff, but I've just pulled the fridge out so I can see behind it in preparation of relining the van with some wood that's not 30 odd years old! In the process I came across this little white box with wires in and out and a couple of fuses on the top. Can anyone shed any light on what this is?
Cheers in advance

Re: Anyone know what this is??
It is the relay to run the fridge when the engine is running I would imagine. Like a split charge relay.
Re: Anyone know what this is??
I did think that but it doesn't seem to be connected to the fridge(even though I haven't had the fridge running) but the wires seem to go into a loom of some sort disappearing behind the units. I guess I'll have to trace it and see where it goes

Is that 240v cable at the bottom (white)? Basic 240v to 12v transformer> Small compact battery charger?

I'm not too sure really, I will have to trace the wires and see where they go there seems to be quite a few coming out of that box, ill try get some more pics up over the next few day and see if anyone has come across the same thing

Open it, take a pic then close it up again. The pic will give us something to ponder over.

Re: Anyone know what this is??
haha it won't just be the mouse that's startled if I open it and he jumps out at me !! Didn't have chance to have a look yesterday but will get up there after work today and have a gander and get some pics up

Re: Anyone know what this is??
Reminds me of last winter - went outside to get some coal and a mouse was just sitting on top of the sack. I did a quick double take as I never expected it.

I think it's the fridge relay, for running the fridge when the engine is running:-
