Title: What is this switch?
Post by: Bill B on September 10, 2013, 03:38:59 pm
Does anyone know what this switch controls?  When we purchased the coach Tyle told me what it was for but I have forgotten.  I have turned it on and off but haven't figured it out yet.  Have seen pictures of others dashboard but none with this switch.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok...just viewed the post.  I need to stop taking pictures with a phone!  Sorry, but you can see the switch is above the air vent.

On my coach, that switch controls the backup camera.  However, i do not have the original camera but an upgrade  Norm H

Thanks Norm for heading me in the right direction.  The switch appears to kill the video on the A/V input which is connected to the tank monitors; the rear camera is connected to a dedicated camera input that the switch does not control.  I believe this is because my flip-up monitor is not the original.  Original was replaced when we purchased the coach.  In any case, it all works and it's all good!  Thanks again.

On my 2003, I have two switches below the Clarion flip up monitor. The left switch is power to the unit and the right switch is a ground that allows viewing of the Javelina system (tank monitors).

Mine does not have a switch in the same location as your pic displays.

Same here, I just have the power switch below the flip out monitor.  None above the air vent.

Aftermarket. I wonder if it is connected to the steps to retract when ignition is off. On/Off Switch diagram for Electric Steps (http://beamalarm.com/Documents/modify_outside_kwikee_step_wiring.html)
