We just returned home with our "new" to us 2003 Journey DL 36GD, and are busy discovering features.The walk through guy at dealer covered some of the basics, but to be honest not sure I would have remembered much more even if he had pointed more out. Busy reading Winnebago, Freightliner and Cat owner's manuals, but spouse has come up with a switch that we can't find in any of those...at least so far. On the dash right above the Eng Temp gauge and to the left of the electronic indicator pannel there is a knurled knob that has an inverted horn (kind of like a Nike Swoosh) image on it. Probably something very simple and intuitive, but would be nice to know what it's supposed to do before we do much turning. Help, please?
Got to visit some friends in Vegas, then drove about 1500 miles home. Spouse is thrilled at power. Early March will load up and attend niece's wedding about 600 mile trip one way. Son even got off work so will get to use that front sofa bed. Still not sure where the litter box will be stationed.

That symbol is a curved ramp. Indicates min to max as you turn it. I think it is the dash lights briteness control.

That seemed like the most probable function, had suggested it to spouse and he said not so. Think we should give it a try in the dark, have not yet driven at night and maybe the difference not so noticable in daylight. Wish the original owner had been there to do walk through, coach was obviously cared for and would like them to know how much we appreciate that.
Will check after sundown and see and report back,
Thanks, Linda M B

I have the same switch on my 03 Horizon and it is definitely the dimmer control for the instrument lights on the dash. Headlights must be on for it to work, but that's what that switch is for.
