Title: What's this switch & where's the emerg. flasher?
Post by: Steve & Kathy B on November 30, 2011, 01:32:44 pm
Stupid questions - What's the toggle switch for in the pic?
Where's the emergency flasher on/off on my 2000 U320?

Believe your emergency flasher knob is located on the steering wheel.  Can't help with other question..

The emergency flasher is a push-pull switch located on the under/after side of the steering column near your knees. Can't help with the pictured switch.

Guess I'll have to ask George about the switch :))  The RV is in storage and I'm home now.  I was searching for the flasher a couple of weeks ago in a rain storm.  Now I know where to look. Thanks!

Wonder if it could be a boost switch ?

Also, you might get George to take a guess.

Howdy Steve and Kathy,

I think the mystery switch is a three position switch used to change the view on your camera monitor..That is: one position shows tank levels, etc, second postion shows view from rear camera, third position shows compass, temp.

Good Luck, Dave Abel

  Not the boost.  That's on the arm panel to my left.  :)

  Ah... that could be.  The original camera monitor has been replaced (by George) and maybe this is now an extra switch.  I turned it on and off and had the DW walk around outside and all over inside looking for a function and never saw anything else come on or off.  Mystery toggle!

Nope, unless they bypassed it, the three position "Select" switch next to "Monitor" switch does the changing of the monitor screens.

On mine a mystery switch changed the rear camera viewing angle

I think it was for the rear camera angle view but they did not put it in all of the coaches or they stopped working and when you put in a new camera the view is much wider so you do not have to use it any longer.

That's what I love about Foretravels.  On a rainy day one can amuse oneself for hours finding what all the mystery switches, wires and things do.  I recently found the speakers for the rear AM/FM which is not hooked up. (They are under the bed where the ATS is)

On the "Ask This Old House" program on PBS they bring in a mystery object and the guys make stupid suggestions as to what it's used for.  So for a new sub-forum we could have "What The H*ll Is This For".

Imagine if they ran the FAA like they run the DOT. Pilots could thumb through Boeing's abbreviated 10 page 747 manual and learn the switches as they flew.

Still finding new wires and controls every time we go somewhere.
