Title: Switches
Post by: oldguy on March 14, 2020, 10:40:33 pm
I have a switch under the kitchen counter between the cooktop and the sink I don't know what it's for. From the left to right is
3 for the Aqua-hot and then the water pump and then ? Anybody have any ideas.

In my coach that switch is for the rope lights under the valences.  There is a similar hidden switch under the cabinet on the starboard side of the bed for the rope lights under the valences in the bedroom.

Could it be kick plate lighting?  You need the coach dark to see it or you need to get down on the floor and look under the kick plate.  I have it in both the kitchen and bath.

Not sure of your floor plan but mine is for the ceiling light in front of the reefer.

Valance lights and accent lights are two other switches on our coach besides the ones you mentioned.

2003 U320

Went out and tried it in the dark. Nothing comes on. The rope lights under the kick plates kitchen and bathroom come on with the step light in my coach. I may have to get out my tone tracer and see if I can trace the circuit.

I have a 1999 U320 & the switch to the right of the water pump does turn on the valence rope lights along the side windows.

We have a unmarked switch on the cabinet front  between the sink and refer.  It turns on the 12 volt side of the countertop instant hot.  There is a labeled switch for the 110 volt side.  Both will heat at the same time if both are on.

Same on my coach. Turns on all the valance lights in the kitchen and front room. Separate switch for the bedroom.

I have new valances and new window sills, maybe the rope lights have been removed.

The rear valances haven't been reupholstered and the rope lights are there. I checked the fuses and one said front valance and checked and that fuse controls the switch. Thanks for all the comments I'll use that switch for the kitchen tap curcu pump I'm
intalling.

Please label the switch when you re-purpose it.  A future owner will thank you.
