Mystery Switch (SOLVED)

We bought a used 2009 Roo 21SS and there is this switch (same type as the switch in the bathroom) to the left of the microwave that we can't figure out what it goes to. Anybody have an idea what it's for?

This is for a 2010 and not a 2009 but there does not appear to be a white switch above the radio so that switch could possibly be an aftermarket mod from the previous owner. I would pop out that radio to get a look inside and see what wires are connected. Also, the wires might have become disconnected.

FYI gotta go to the end of the video to see the radio.

I'm with those saying the amber outside light may be burnt out or not functioning properly. The switch for the outside light on our 2009 21RS is exactly the same as the pic, and in the same location.

being right over top the radio, I wonder if its some sort of speaker cut-off switch.

The bulb was burnt out so that made identifying the switch a little more difficult.
