Mystery Switch

I have a 2016 Wildwood,263BHXL and the far right switch labeled "lights" does nothing when switched on or off. Just wondering if anyone else has the same monitor/switch panel that may know what the switch should do?

Maybe remove the plate and see if there are any wires connected to it - possibly not used. Other option is it might turn on lights in outside storage compartments.

My guess would be for the lights in your cargo compartments as Loggenrock mentioned.

Do you have the remote controlled exterior LED lights? We had a switch that didn't do anything until the dealer replaced the lost remote do we could turn them on.

Mystery Switch Solved

The mystery is solved. Turning the switch on does nothing... BUT, if you turn on the LED strip under the awning using the remote, you can then turn the LED strip off using the panel switch. Then you can turn the LED strip back on with the panel switch. Kinda like having a porch light.

I'd recommend a labelmaker...
