I need urgent help on this..

I have just been lent an Engel fridge, pretty old and not real big, no specs on it at all.

Does anyone know if they regulate themselves in regards to power draw. The fridge will not run on 12 volt through either the cigeratte lighter or accessory plugs I have in my vehicle. My main access plug is rated at 25 amps. if I connect an accessory plug direct to the battery and plug in the fridge it works ok. The plugs have power and there is definatelty power going through the lead as circuit tester works fine. I have not got a multi meter handy to see how much power is actually going through. When fridge is plugged into the accessory plugs, when turned on the fridge light goes on briefly then switches off as if it wants to go but won't. I am guessing it is a power draw problem, how much power does the fridge need??

Thanx
