I think but am not certain that it's a post factory user installed switch. My advice is get a wire checker and see where it goes.

And a suggestion for everyone.  If you add a switch, do your best to hang a label on it somewhere.  e.g I added a grounding switch behind the front passenger panel for the Audit monitor reset and hung a tag on it.  Also added a switch to turn off the dash dinger and tagged it.

Rich always good advice. It's one of the problems with buying old  anything. When previous owners modify remove change upgrade or just generally mess around with a perfectly good coach. lol.
Sometimes the labels aren't good enough. One of the previous owners on my coach changed away the tank filled. He put some instructions out in the wet bays about turning this switch and turning this valve but it's still wasn't good enough. I'm sure he knew how to work it just fine but I had trouble. For that reason I had to remodify my whole wet bay, which I'm still in the process of doing. Will it be better then what a previous owner did? I hope so. Will be better than what was the original? I don't know since I didn't have that to start with, but I'm pretty sure it will be. I've had to add wiring modify wiring and remove some things. I'm not sure that I left a note for each one. hopefully one day when I pass the coach on to another person I'll have the opportunity to explain each modification in person. And if not there's always the wire tracer.

I've had my coach for 5 months and I still have two switches I don't know what they do. The are under the dash on the windshield
side and one is an on off switch and the other is like a latch switch. I had thought they were and add ons but this morning I checked
an the wires going to the switches are oem.

Thank you for your suggestions.
Solving coach issues is somewhat akin to playing charades; what is the coach trying to tell me?
