24RS outside light switch and step switch

Which switch turns on the drivers side outdoor work light? I think mine does not work, since I can not find a switch to turn it on.

Also is there a switch to retract the steps or only when you start the vehicle?

Why doesn't FR label the 3 switches on the step??

Thanks Larry

Do you have any switches labeled "scare" light ?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Have you seen if the bulb is even good ?
All the switches in the coach wont turn it on if the bulb is bad.

On our 2012 Solera "S", the switch for the driver's side "Scare" light is on the control panel near the slideout switch.

The switch for the step is the middle one by the steps - at least on a S. my drivers side light is on the panel where all the other switches are.

The utility/scare light switch is on the "Convenience Panel"

The steps retract and extend based on a little magnetic switch that is on the door itself. There is a switch in the step well that disables this feature. That way when you are camping, you turn the power step "off" so that you don't have to wait for them to extend/retract every time you open/close the door.

3 switches on the step (porch light), you can tell pretty easily which one that is. I think its the first one (Power Step) should be 2nd one. (LED Awning Light) may be the third one. Depends on how new it is.

Thanks for the information.

There are 3 switches in a bank and the awning switch which is separate.
Could determine porch light, floor lights and a switch that does not seem to do anything. Perhaps that is the step on off. If these were labeled, we would not have to switch on the incorrect switch all the time. A white stick on label would not cost too much but give much satisfaction.

What is the outdoor switch labeled on the control panel??

Thanks Larry
