Jayco refrigerator fan

Have a trip planed going out in 100 deg heat, pulled cover off of back of refrigerator to look for a place to instal cooling fans. Looking way up in the area behind ref there is already a fan in there , never noticed it before. Really surprised to see it. Cooling down the ref. pretty soon it came on.
Still think I might add a couple more for more air movement.
Maybe that's why my ref. works so good, sure beats fooling with ice chests.
Does any one else have fans from factory?
Would really like to wire new fans in with the factory on but see no way to get to the wiring on the existing fan.

    Fridge in a slideout?
    Then it should have a fan factory installed.........fan needed to enhance less than adequate natural draft a roof vent provides.

    Not in slideout..then factory may have added fan to help airflow due to clearance issues. Again.enhance air flow.

    I believe most come with a fan . I installed an extra fan on mine. I picked up a hot and ground off the 12 volt block at the back of the refrig. Mounted the fan, ran the ground to the fan, ran the hot to a switch, then a switch leg from the switch to the fan. The switch I placed in the wall between the refrig and counter top at the stove. I put it up just under the overhead cabinets and as close to the back wall as possible.

    Our Fuzion came with a fan, and it needed replacing after a couple years. It was a cheap computer 12v fan and exposure to moisture did it in. I bought two waterproof fans to replace it. Luckily mine was pretty easy to get to.
