Same happened to me - well the light in the switch broke. Got replacement and had to work out the wiring. You need a volt meter and the car plugged in and engine running to work out what wires do what. One is a earth for the bulb return, the other is the Live from the car and the last one will be the switched feed to the Fridge. Good luck.
