That leads to situation that when you pull 120V supply with propane off at the tank, the fridge will keep on sparking for few minutes before going into limp and will not switch to 12V on its own.
I tried to rewire the switches, but they are soldered to computer board, what makes it above my skill level.
At the end I put a relay on fridge main 12V supply, who is activated by ignition, so fridge runs on 12V only when alternator is charging.
Than manual switch to turn it on when solar charging or 120V is available.
