I have an 15 year old Groenland CTL 175 Fridge and have used it on Gas and 240 but never on 12v it has a Black and a blue wire. Anyone an idea on which is the positive and the negative, I have contacted Camping Gaz ad athough helpfull couldnt  be sure!!!!!!!  Please help anyone as i need it for France in three days. Nothing like cutting it fine.
Sorry about the double post.

Now if i were a betting man  and i owned it....i would say black is the positive ...blue being the neg...but i know this is very unhelpful to you but i may be wrong....but thats what i would go for......good luck with it M8...i hope very much that someone else will post to this soon and put us straight

Walan,

I believe its an offence to use a fridge on gas whilst on the road in France ( and probably other countries as well)

Well folks opend up the back and using what Knoledge gained from you all traced the black cable to the switch. This i concluded must be the positive, wired up the plug that way, pluged in stayed on for two seconds and blew a fuse in the plug. This after much head scratching i fitted a uprated fuse  from 5 to 10 amp this worked but the plug gets a bit hot after a short while. This will have to be monitored on route, when on site i can revert back to 240v

Thanks to all who gave advice i am endeted to you all 

Good Point John, i will direct solder the wire in the plug tonight

Thanks again

Graham
