Thoughts on 12 volt icebox

[prh77]

I have been having problems with the original AB icebox system as of late. It would not always power up when the switch was turned on, and when it did, the fan would pulsate in a one minute on, 10 second off cycle at times. It crashed 2 weeks ago, so I started to put cash away for a replacement. Did some checking, and found low voltage at the panel switch when the system was activated..  2.5V. Found an unused switch and moved the power lead. I now have a new AB fridge. The contacts on the old switch must have been stressed by the 21+ years of 5-7 amp service.
It now works like a charm.

Peyton, what a great idea.  I've been having this same issue for years.  Can't wait to get home and try it out.  I even have a fe new switches I bought a few years ago from Seward.

Thanks.  It's electrical so it's like that lightbulb...
