Get a voltmeter / multimeter or test light and follow the current path. That way there won't be a thread filled with guesses. I get a good chuckle every time GoWesty's 'fridge eliminator kit' is mentioned. There are X cubic feet of space in a Vanagon. Removing/moving the fridge to another spot has merely moved the space it used before. One could argue that a storage box placed instead of the new fridge would be far cheaper and just as useful.
