Hi all. I've read through a lot of posts regarding the cubby fridge failures. Can anyone shed any light on mine with the following:
12v feed to the fridge, the switch works (continuity) and power gets to the circuit board but from that, nothing. There's no light on the switch, the fan doesn't work and the peltier unit is dated 2018 so previous owner has obviously had a go (I've had the car a week). I've replaced the relay on the fridge's circuit board with a brand new one so it's not that. The thermostat has continuity through it as well, whether it should or not, I'm not sure. Any ideas anyone?

Hi. Did you manage to get to the bottom of this?
I have a similar issue: bought a D4, no power light on fridge switch and fuse seems okay.

Sort of Andrew. I did a few more checks after my post and everything pointed to the circuit board on the front of the fridge. It was getting power but somewhere along the board itself, a component had failed and wasn't providing power to the relay that's on there. I couldn't be bothered testing any more on the board so I replaced it with a cheap temperature controlled relay

Very straight forward to install if you're not too bad at diy and has the added bonus of being able to set the temperature to what you want. I've got mine down to 3° and it's a huge improvement! If you need more info, just ask and I'll take some pics etc.

Hi
I’m now having issues with my cubby box fridge.
Very interested in what you have done with this, any chance you could take a few pictures please?
I’m fairly sure my issue is the thermostat as the pack gets cold and the fan works but it’s hit and miss if it stays cold.
Thanks in anticipation BT Gap IID

Would you be able to update this thread at all? I know it's a few years old, but I've. given up on the circuit board and need some ideas to get tit working again!

Take the board our, bin it and get a temperature controlled relay from eBay/Amazon (they're not expensive) and wire that in the place of the old circuit board. It's very easy to do and you should breeze through it.
