Hey guys, this is not quite car orientated but i assume some of you will know how to wire this up.
Its a unit which is in line with an extension cord. It senses temperature (eg fridge) and when it reaches a certain temperature it will turn the fridge off or on.
All i need to do is cut an extension cord and wire it in using the following instructions. If someone could let me know which wires go where that would be great
Hope this helps, this is my understanding of the circuit, but i have made it realistic, how the cables would realistically be wired, not schematically.
Based on my power point image, i wasn't intending on him actually visualising the earth that i painted, clearly earth is not used. But thanks for typing out what i had proposed in the picture.

Somethings not right. The fridge wont get power. I'd also like to point out before we go any further that i do have an understanding of circuits and relays etc but this diagram is unclear to say the least.
Currently i have Pin 1: Female neutral Pin 2: Female positive Pin 11: Male neutral Pin 12: Male positive Pin 1 and 11 bridged
What i cant work out is that in the first picture i posted it looks like when the controller wants to turn on the fridge it activates a relay and bridges pin 1 and 2. If this is the case why is there a positive to pin 1 and a negative to pin 2? It should be Male 240v pin 1 and female positive pin 2.
