What is this switch?

I have a vibe 313bhs and there is a switch in the pass through storage that I have no idea what it does. The dealer said it was the inverter but the other night I lost power and the fridge ran with the switch off. Anyone know what it really does?

Does it turn on a light on the front... on the outside? We had a member here discover a few days back that his storage compartment switch controlled an outside/front light. He worked his issue in the reverse direction - he had a light on and couldn't determine how to turn it off.

The only thing I can think is it has something do do with the solar prep plug in that area
