Once again I must request assistance from those wiser than myself, since I haven't quite gone back to work yet I'm still in tinkering mode.
My plan is to install a circulation fan inside of my Norcold refridgerator. Initially I thought about buying one of those little D cell operated fans but I'd rather have a more custom installation than just a little fan I have to change the batteries on once a month. I read on the forum somewhere about somebody who had run the 12v power for a box or muffin fan down the condensation tube to the exterior. The thought of fishing wire through that tube and risking restricting the flow of condensation to the exterior isn't an option since we like to spend a lot of time in Texas (high humidity). My thought is to pick up the "hot" side from the light switch and then ground to the interior light itself, here's the problem:
For the life of me I can't locate the switch that controls the interior light in the fridge!! I know it's got to have one because that switch controls not only the light but the thermistor. I'm thinking that it's not a mechanical switch as there is no plunger switch anywhere on the door frame, it quite possibly could be a magnetic sensor somewhere but I need a place to look so I don't wind up dis-assembling the fridge in an attempt to locate something that I'm not even sure is there. I have pulled the on/off temp control box and there's nothing behind that except a plug that leads to the control switch. If somebody could point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.
