There are more wires on my LCM than shown in the diagram. I will check my ICC switch to see if I can figure anything out.

I have a spring loaded THX switch on our Discovery. All the running lights on the coach turn on when it's pushed. I wonder why they did away with it?

Got fog lights??
That has been what I have been using for over 3 years on my '09 Winnebago Journey. I know they are visible during the day as I have a 70%+ return rate from truckers after they come back into my lane.
Can't get no cheaper fix than that . . . assuming you have fog lights.

That's what I use and get a good response from truckers.

On my 2011 Ellipse I flash the headlights and marker lights with the switches on the steering wheel.

I want to say "thanks" to gMw for researching this topic. I completed my installation yesterday and am VERY happy with the result.

Erieh,
Congrats Enie. You are right, we need to thank gMw for the research. I only have space for one switch so I am trying to track down a double pole that will allow me to flash the headlights off one way and also be able to flash the marker lights the other way. I just have not found a good source to buy the Carling Technologies switch. Then, I will catch up with you and install it in my motor home. I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

If your coach came with an ICC flash switch, that switch might do the job for you. The switch that Tiffin supplied on mine was a single throw double poll momentary switch. If I had wanted to, I could have used the other side of the switch to flash the headlamps. The only down side would be that the marker lamps and headlamps would flash at the same time.
I got my switch from Tiffin, but I found another good source on the web.
I will edit this post as soon as I find a link.
Found.

Ernieh,
If the switch is a double poll single throw (DPST) three position rocker (mom) off (mom) then one way should be head lights only and the other side flasher only?? Unless your switch is only a two position (mom) off switch which would mean both would be grounded when you pressed the switch?
This make sense.
No, I don't have an ICC switch which is why I am trying to find a SPDT three position rocker (or paddle or toggle) that will allow me to toggle one way for the markers and the other way for the headlights. Still looking.....

I used a double poll three position rocker (mom). Have an idea what I'm going to do with the other 'side' of the switch after I return home next month and have access to my work bench
FYI... I happened to have a spare Bedroom Side switch, bought from a Winnebago dealer, for my Journey when it was having slide issues. Anyway, I put it to good use in the FW Expedition.

That would be the same switch that they use for the power shades/visors.
I would call it DPDT momentary
Actually the ICC switch that I use can be momentary close or open depending on which terminals you use.
I don't know what style you want but I'll see what I can find when I get a chance.
Try this link. They show several that should do what you want.
