Unknown switch

[OL Morgan]

I have a 2022 Mallard 210RB. in the entryway there are three unlabeled switches. One for inside lights, one for the outside awning LED and one that I can't figure out. Any idea what this third switch might do?

Do you have a step light.

Light under the entry steps

I am the second owner and trying to get familiar with the RV. I have not had it out at night as yet but looking under the steps, I don't see any light.

On our 2021 Mallard M260 we have 5 switches. Slide, clearly labeled. Cabin ceiling lights, not labeled. Awning, labeled. Awning lights, not labeled. finally, ceiling mounted cellular MODEM and Wi-Fi power switch, not labeled. No factory step lights on our unit with the MORyde foldout steps. It may be the ceiling mount prewire. If you have a round or rectangular blank cover plate, remove it and look for black and white power wires and very small red, green, and yellow wires with connectors. Use a voltmeter or DC test light and a helper to test for power on the black and white wires when the switch is turned on. Hope this helps.

When it is dark outside, try the switch. Stand outside and watch while somebody turns it on/off several times, to try to see if it controls front nose lights, driver side lights, etc.....

It could even control an outside outlet, so plug something into it, if you have one installed by the entrance door.

Thank you for the detailed response. I'll check it out.

I checked today and your explanation was spot on. The unmarked switch powers the after market Modem and Cellular booster connected to the Winegard 360 antenna.
