Anyone with a W221 Rear Armrest Cooler?

I have the ski bag option on my car with ski hatch door.


Just got a fridge and connected to wiring harness in boot, but when fridge switched on, on/off light flickers 10 seconds then fuse blows (15Amp), rear fan does not operate. Fridge issue or wiring/other issue?


Any ideas please?

I wonder how difficult it would be to retrofit the refrigerator into my S350? I do not have anything blocking that area, but I imagine their would be harness work involved.

I looked but couldn't find that thread.


BTW I have a W220 fridge, not W221 as you gain extra boot space with the W220, otherwise they look identical inside along with the 2 pin power plug. I have the existing W221 cooler harness installed.


Just wondering, the fridge is 12Volt 7 Amp so could I not just test it from a 12Volt supply of some sort just to check the fridge works first? If so, how do I do that as I have seen pictures of these fridges being advertised and shown working from a power pack of some sort ?
