Hacksawbob wrote:the white connector is described as " windscreen wipers and main wiring loom" what colour was the wire that was in there? what doesn't work any more? which wire did you splice into for your fridge? it may be a good idea to run new chunky positive to the battery (using grommets if it passes through metal holes) and find a good earth for the fridge basically rewire it from scratch without using the fuse box as it looks like the wire you spliced into wasn't up to it, and possibly has the wrong fuse.
The wire was the black wire that is taped up in the second of four wiring pictures
Since pulling the wire from the plug I have not checked what isn't working fully but the engine turns over but doest fire. I disconnected the fridge and tried earthing the wire to try starting it but this didn't work. This was to see if it was an earth. I have not checked the fuses since, this is first on the list at the weekend.
The wiring for the fridge was already in place so I do not know which wire has been used if any. There is a split charge and 240v system in the camper which has a number of switches for various items like lights, water pump, fridge etc. As you say it may be easier to re wire the fridge in on it's own feed.
Is there a diagram that shows what all the plugs are for or do I need to decipher the wiring diagrams?
Are the plugs a standard part or specific to the transporter? If anyone has any ideas where I can get a replacement It would be most helpful
