Light by front door labelled interior

A quite a while ago I inquired about this light and the fact it is constantly lit up and apparently does nothing when turned off and on. I am just revisiting this to see if anyone has an answer for this switch. It does nothing in my coach when switched on and off ( honest I  have thoroughly checked) and would like some explanation if possible!

It should turn on and off the middle ceiling light through a latching relay and the other switch
in my coach is above the sink next to the sink pot light switch.

Thanks for that.
The light switch above the sink does work for that, is there another latching switch for the front switch??? and if so where is it located?

On my 2003 the green light is always on, and the switch when on lights the 3 most forward ceiling lighte (one under the fron cabinets).

I believe that's intentional from Foretravel.  It's so you can find an interior light switch quickly if you got back to the coach at night.

I suspect it might go off if the salesman's switch is off (which would make it a handy indicator).

If the switch above the sink works then I suspect the problem is from the latching relay to the
front switch. I don't know where the latching relay is.

On my 1994 U300 that switch is always lite, and it controls the center overhead light in the center of the coach @ the stairwell. the Latching mechanism is in the overhead compartment to the right of the Microwave, by the tambor door roller...  ^.^d

I just went out and checked my coach and it sound like my relay is the same place as Gerry's.
If you push your switch above the sink you will hear the relay click. I would check your switch
at the door and see if a wire has pulled off.

Mine is only an indication that the salesman switch is ON. The switch above it is for the overhead interior light and below the forward TV position
