Fridge Towing Light
Fridge Towing Light

Does anyone know if the little red towing light which indicates that the fridge is on whilst towing actually powers the fridge or is it solely an indicator.
Ours has stopped working although I know that the engine needs to be revved to start the process.
It's difficult to tell if the fridge is being kept cold during journeys or not. Upon arrival after about a three hour tow the fridge is still cold enough.

The switch has 3 contacts, the middle contact is 12V in from the towcar, the bottom contact goes to the fridge element and the top one switches its light on.
If the switch doesn't illuminate, either the bulb has blown or 12V isn't getting through - there's a fridge fuse in the BIP unit and also there should be a fuse in your towcar for the feed, and either could have popped.

Thanks John. So it's an either or? If the bulb has gone it doesn't necessarily mean that the power isn't getting through to the fridge.
As you say though if the fault is with the car or the fuse then the power isn't getting through to the bulb or the fridge

That sounds correct my Captain.
The bulb in the switch has been known to blow, so you could be OK, just not indicating. There again that's normal for Touran drivers.
