Stumped!

Left to right in the photo: puck light - temperature sensor - rocker switch
What does the rocker switch operate? Changed bulbs in the puck light and nothing. Where is switch/rheostat for the pucks? Thanks in advance.

Could be a switch to the engine block heater plug.

On my Dynasty, I have the same switch over my dinette and it controls the three halogen "puck" lights over the dinette.

Over the couch I have a rheostat that controls the halogen "puck" lights.

I seriously doubt it will be for the engine block heater. That is generally a large rocker type switch on the dash for the electrical outlet in the engine bay as well as one similar if your coach is equipped with Aqua-Hot for the "engine heat" but on a 2002 Dip this is probably not an option.

Ditto what zMike said about it being a switch for the puck-lites, same on my HR Endeavor. A wire in that line in mine failed a long time ago (our dinette is in a slide, and probably got pinched or pulled) - yours may have gone the same way.

BTW - I'm surprised Monaco put the temp-sensor so close to that little heat-generator. Those lites get REALLY hot and probably cast enough heat to confuse the AC system a bit.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. My sensors are not located anywhere near any of the halogen lights, they are all separated by at least a couple of feet.

After much searching and changing out fuses, the rocker switch IS for the pucks. However, it is just off/on and turns on at the lowest power, so it makes for a very dim light. Where can I find the little knob/rheostat switch?

On our Dynasty we don't have a switch and a rheostat on the same circuit. One side over the dinette is operated by the switch only and they come on fairly bright. The ones over the curb-side couch are on the rheostat and are variable.
