Title: Mystery Key Switch - U320 Bedroom
Post by: Mark Duckworth on April 30, 2017, 11:46:28 am
Searched the archives but no joy...  In the bedroom there are 2 key switches that can be seen in the first photo. The upper key switch is obviously for the slide.  The lower one in the 2nd photo is a mystery.  Anyone know what this is for?

Thanks,
Mark

Doesn't look OEM.  PO must have installed.  Have you looked at your electrical diagram to see if it was altered to show your mystery switch?  Good luck.

Because it takes a key may mean that it is a security add on.

Could it be a keyed master switch? Turn it! Maybe a secret panel will open and all kinds of James Bond accessories will be hidden in it? 8)

Unfortunately, no secret compartment, but did find a note in a FOT service ticket that says the mystery key switch controls 3 awnings.  Not sure which awnings or why.

Just a guess...  Maybe so that if you are sleeping and the wind/rain picks up you can roll over, turn the key, and retract the awning without walking to another part of the coach.
