Although I'm not sure about your AUX switch, I have one that is for user added devices, lights, etc. Each wire pair is provided for up to the number of wire pairs for that many user adds. It's nice for manufactures to provide pre-wired electrical wire points. Not sure if this is the same for your unit. Check owner's manual and see how it's fused and the max current and wattage. The AUX switches I have are on a Ford Truck.

Possibly the Aux Start switch linking the house batteries to the chassis for emergency starting?

Cannon Man;
I have the same switch on Our 2004 Sea breeze and also have no idea what it does. The owners manual doesn't tell me anything about it. hopefully someone will have the answer.

In most cases if the switch does not control anything, National RV identified the switch as AUX and states in the owners manual that it is for optional equipment. On my 07 Seabreeze the subject switch was used for and labeled Fans (dash fans)

I have the same switch with wires on my 1999 Tradewinds, It's a mystery to me as well.

That switch could be for Fog lights, with your engine running and your headlights on turn the AUX switch on and see if it controls your fog lights.

10ga suggests some heavy loads. 12 or 14 ga.. Could it be a switch to use the dash radio off the house batteries?

I've got the same switch. As far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything. If it does do something, it does something I haven't used and haven't missed so, it's not an issue.
