FYI, Beckett conversion worked flawlessly the entire time we were in Tennessee. We had several days below freezing and Friday morning when were leaving we had a light dusting of snow as we were departing. 

To get back to the refrigerator lock. I did finally get my fox and hound out, if you do not know what that is, its a circuit tracer or toner that puts a tone on the line and you can locate the wire with it. So I did some testing and I thought that the wire feeding power to the refrigerator lock switch would run down the passenger side of the coach but it does not. I pulled the main control panel in the kitchen down and I noticed that the two wires going from the switch go into the ceiling, so they go across the roof to the driver side where the refrigerator is located. I then opened one of the cabinets next to the refrigerator just above my dinette and I got to the wire chase. I was able to tone the wire at that location so its good to that point, so I suspect there may be a joint behind the fridge. I did not want to pull the fridge out since I did not have my furniture dolly that I normally use for this with me. This also makes sense that I may have caused this issue, as I used some fish sticks to pull new wires behind the fridge and past the bathroom to install my new cameras, so there is a good chance that I may have snagged the wires for the fridge lock and pulled something apart. I will update once I pull the fridge and find the culprit. 

I work as an industrial electrician and I was able to get ahold of this circuit tracer that we were getting rid of at work:

You can get a good toner and it will do the same thing, the Greenlee is good though as its rated to work on live 120v circuits but its an expensive tool for the average guy just looking to trace out some wiring.
