Switch with no function

I have a 2017 wildwood 27rkss. On the control panel are two light switches. The left one operates the interior ceiling lights. The right one does nothing that I can tell. Does anyone know what this should do or is it for an electrical option I may not have?

Is it a lighted switch? Our 262rgx has two lighted unmarked switches that are for the tank heaters.

Not lighted. Marked as "lights". I know the lighted switches you mentioned. Not them.

Try it at night . That's the best way to find out what it does.

My second light switch on the panel operates the "porch light" and the "step light".

Gary, I have a 2017 31KQBTS and the "light" switch on the right turns the awning led strip on and off. Once it's on, I can control it with the remote. Makes it easy to turn it off when going in for the night.

Our 2016 27rkss has the same 2 switches. Left does awning, right is the one ceiling light. Dealer told me something very specific about that switch though. Said he gets 2 calls all the time from new owners. One is about the awning lights not working. And it's always operator error. "If you turn the led on with the switch, then you have to turn them off with the switch"....... I think. Or visa versa... Something to that effect. We use the remote to switch colors only. . Hope it helps.

We have 3 light switches at our panel. 1 is for the awning light. The other 2 are for cabin lights. If you turn all of the switches on at the panel, then turn all of the lights on the inside ceiling to the ON position, you can hit the panel switches off and see which lights they run. They are like a 3 way switch in your house. Once you figure out what lights turn off, you can just control them from the panel and leave the switch on the ceiling lights in the ON position.
