Can anyone identify this switch for me?
Thanks, Mike

Mike,
Looks like aftermarket.
Driver selectable....................................  Stability Control (Steering Angle Sensor)?
I've seen similar in German cars (Beemers, Audis, VW's, Merc's) but what it might be doing in a FT is beyond me.  Do you have any other clues?
Some American cars use the technology, but I've never seen it to be driver selectable.
Just a WILD guess.
Neal

I don't have a clue as to what it is.

Why not follow the wires from the switch and see where they lead to ?  Should tie into something somewhere, also turn off all items in the coach, then play with the switch to see it you notice or hear anything happening, I love tracking down junk stuff

We installed a Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer in our 37' SOB DP. It had a centering system controlled by a momentary contact switch at the driver's position. The switch in our coach looked like a big ol' toggle switch. However, a nifty looking switch like that would have been more "descriptive."

I like Dave's M's suggestion of following wires or listening for sounds associated with the switch. I recommend looking to see if you have some kind of steering accessory under the coach.

Yes, I will check underneath to see if there is something there.  I was just hoping that someone would recognize the switch and know what it is.

Can you contact the previous owner and see what he had added? Otherwise as others suggested trace out the wiring to see where it goes.
