hi all im guessing the relay is same as on my van and i believe its the fridge relay it energises only when engine is running and supplies the fridge with 12volts (when running the frdge on 12v) but only while engine is running.
dont fix it if its not broke cos after you finish it will be!

It's the fridge relay, I managed to follow the dash switch back to the relay.

I found a a split charge relay in the spare realy slot on top of the fusebox.

The fridge relay hasn't been used for a while buy the look of it though.
