Good Afternoon All -
Started a project this afternoon that I thought would be simple. Well - that's what this directions indicated.
Attempting to wire in a refrigerator add-on fan to the back of our unit.
Looked inside of the back and found a VERY small little fan that apparently is supposed to cool the 18cf refrigerator we have in our Solitude 310GK.
The little fan had something like a 22 gauge red and black wire running to it. Foolishly I thought that all I had to do was to wire in the yellow and black wires attached to new fans I am attempting to install to the wires attached to the fan after cutting and spicing.
Well the cutting and splicing was easy.
Went into the coach, turned on the refrigerator, came back outside to the new fan control unit, pushed the 'Manual Button' and nothing happened!! No power to the new fans no nuthin'!!
After looking at the red and black wire that ran into the little factory fan, I wondered if those wires were somehow attached to a temperature sensor and my RV Barn was not warm enough to initiate the sensor to send power to the fan. The wires to the little fan run from 'something' behind 'something else".
I'm thinking, no problem. I will splice the little yellow and red wires that are attached to the new fan to some different 12v power source in back of the refrigerator.
Attached are pictures of the new refrigerator fans and the back of the refrigerator of the coach.
Question is: Can I splice the positive/negative new fan wires to the wires on one of the pictures labeled GND and 12VDC to make this new fan unit operate correctly?
I know there are a bunch of folks out here that are much smarter than I am concerning this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
