What does this switch do?

I have looked through the forums, looked at the Ford parts website and fiddled with everything I can think of in the coach and cannot for the life of me figure out what this switch does! It is located just above the mirror control switch on the A pillar on the drivers side.

Your leadership and guidance is greatly appreciated!

A picture of the switch would help. Oh and guess you could always ask the Ford dealer

By your description it's the switch for outside rear view mirror heat. It's not a Ford part. The mirrors are added by Forest River - heated remote adjustable mirrors were optional for the Sunseeker when we ordered ours.

Not only on the A Pillar, but it should be on the same switch pad (maybe not, thus the confusion) as the power controls for the side mirrors.

Thanks all!

I took a pic yesterday but the file size was to big to upload. Took a smaller one this morning.
We don't need mirror warmers much here but I am sure they will come in handy at some point. Maybe I'll take a CO2 fire extinguisher to the mirrors and see if they work!

Just put your fingertips on the mirror, turn the switch on, and be ready to pull them off. It doesn't heat up instantly. Or better, get the neighbor you don't like to check the temperature when you turn it on.

I was sort of looking forward to fogging them up with the extinguisher but I guess I can just touch them. Not as much fun but safer probably!
