Question:
Will the refrigerator still work while traveling if the orange refrigerator control wire is not hooked up.

Expert Reply:
The refrigerator or reefer tag line is the power feed for the thermostat that controls the cooling unit on a refrigerated trailer. It would connect to a 12-volt power source on the truck, if needed. If you are not pulling a refrigerated trailer, the circuit could be used for another purpose or just left unconnected if you do not need it.
I have provided a wiring diagram for a 9-way connector that you might find helpful.
If this circuit is not complete the refrigerator will not work.
