Switch by door of coach

I have a switch panel located at the door of my coach that consists of 3 switches. PORCH, STEP and INTERIOR.
The porch switch works and actually turns on and off the porch light. The step light turns on the step light and under kitchen sink and bathroom accent lights (below counter which I will changing out to led strip lighting) and the interior light which has a green led light below it that is always on, and the switch that does NOTHING. It does not turn anything off or on.

Does anyone have an idea what this switch is meant to be for?
If it is truly not being used for anything I will incorporate it as the switch for the step which I intended to wire to close each time the door closes...regardless of whether the ignition is on.
Regards
Peter

Mine turns on the inside fluorescent lights right above the stair well in the middle of the coach but I have a Mid entry. It is a 3 way switch with one under the cabinet above the sink.

Mine turns on the lights midway in the coach, over the recliner. It is a 3 way switch with the other switch above the couch on the drivers side. Check to see if that light is getting power, otherwise I would suspect a loose wire in the switch circuit by the door.

Peter,

On a '98 as has been mentioned it should turn on the fluorescent light over the fridge.  The switch over the sink and the switch by the door is tied to  that light.  There is a relay that should be hid under the false floor of the cabinet over the micro. or sink.  All those switches do is show that relay a ground to get it to activate. So don't go pulling all your hair out looking for the relay or power to the switches.

Thanks for all the responses.
My coach has the door switch panel that contains the porch,step and interior light.
As stated the interior switch is a one way switch that has a led below that is on all the time. The switch powers or  operates NOTHING.
Does any one have the same switch and the same problem...perhaps a solution?

the switch has the green led as a convenience for arriving at the coach when it
is dark out. it turns on the ceiling fluorescent in the kitchen, for safe entry to the
coach at night. it can also be switched on the drivers side at aft end of the couch.
the latching relay is located behind the back side panel in the microwave
cabinet. the other latching relay for the bathroom is behind the back closet wall.
can you here it clicking when you turn on either switch? that is the setup on my 98
