mine turns off when the ignition is turned off, which can be a pain sometimes. I like to add in a freezer block if it will be left parked for a few hours with 2 pints of milk in it for the kids. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Did they change the design so it stays on ??
I’m pretty sure the fridge I bought from the bay of fleas was from a MY10 , so maybe that’s why it doesn’t turn off with the ignition. But it does fit and works perfectly .

Definitely switches off with ignition in my 2012 sdv6. Been parked up 5 mins or so, ignition off, power is supplied briefly afterwards but as soon as my dashcam powered off I flipped the lid and although switch is on it is definately off, eg no fridge noise or green light.

My 2005 switches off itself after a few minuets

I’m assuming from the replies , mine is fubared
Left for work this morning with my ctek connected and the switch for the fridge switched on ,
Got back this evening expecting my sport to be on fire !!! But all was fine and the fridge was still running ?? On the plus side , the drinks are really really cold

In future I’ll just have to remember to switch it off !!!
Thanks to all who replied

From what I have read on here Steve , some are blue and some green ?
I can’t find anything regarding if it should switch off with the ignition

 Steve.

If I remember correctly there are 2 fridge types.

The D3(and contemporary RRS) with blue light and D4 one, green light.

The D3 one has voltage sensing and will switch off.

The D4 one does not have the voltage sensing and will not switch off in a D3 or early RRS ( I think the sensing is part of the wiring in the D4) '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

The first one fitted in my 2007 TDv8 was blue when it failed the 2nd one had a green light.......... both switched off with the ignition though. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

In my 012 my sdv6 hse, fridge on light is green and it definately does not stay on with ignition off and vehicle powered down.

I have an ‘06 with a blue light and mine turns off  Noisy black one

Thanks all
Mine is definitely from a MY10 sport with green light , seems like it doesn’t have voltage sensing but hey ho !!!
I’m happy I have it instead of a big black hole , and it works brilliantly .
