Where is the Mystery Switch? BTW, photos of the dash would help. My own (unlabelled) "Mystery Switch" turns on the docking lights... OTOH, it could initiate the self-destruct mechanism, or energize the coach's proton torpedo defense system...

In either case the idea is quite staggering. - Arthur C. Clarke It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I've been searching thirty years to find her and thank her - W. C. Fields | |||

My previously unknown switch flashes yellow lights along the top of the coach. You know how big trucks do when they are clear to pass.  | |||

LUCKY YOU, ONLY HAVING ONE MYSTERY SWITCH ON YOUR DASH. I HAVE 3. ONE FOR FRONT FOGLIGHTS, ONE FOR REAR AUX.FLOOD BACK-UP LIGHTS, AND ONE FOR SWITCHING FUEL FEED ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO FIGURE THESE OUT EXACTLY. HAVING PASSING MOTORISTS FLASH LIGHTS AT ME TO SAY I WAS UNKNOWINGLY BLINDING THEM. THEN, RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON ONE SIDE AFTER FILLING THE OTHER. THE SWITCH ACTIVATES A PUMP THAT KEEPS FUEL LEVEL EVEN IN BOTH TANKS. AFTER A LITTLE (OK ALOT) OF FRUSTRATION, FIGURED IT OUT. I AM NOT SURE IF ANY OF THESE APPLY TO YOURS, BUT MIGHT CHECK IT OUT. PERHAPS IF THERE IS NO AUX. LIGHTS, OR 2 TANKS, CHECK FOR EXTRA WIRES HANGING AROUND THESE AREAS. DALE 1977 34' P-30 454 | ||||

My unlabelled rocker switch turns on the docking lights.
