3 unknown buttons in the Leprechaun 240FS

So, after the orientation with the tech and a couple of days playing in the driveway, I am down to 3 things that I have no idea what they do. Here we go...

1) In the vehicle side, on the dash, far right side is this button. I asked the tech, he had no idea

2) I just noticed this one (top of the photo above the mirror adjustments), can only assume it is for heated side mirrors?

3) Finally, this one is in the Coach. It's the bottom switch on the left hand side. Between the battery master off and slide control. I went out at night to turn it on and off and I could not find it doing anything. I asked the tech, he had no idea. Is it a dummy switch I can hook up to something at a later date?

As always, any help is appreciated.

Thank you

I think I can help as I have the same in my Leprechaun.

1. Remember this started out as a Ford E450 van dash - I had an E150 years ago and that's where the front controls for the rear air fan was. I think that "button is simply the knockout plug for the hole where the fan switch goes.

2. That is definitely the on/off switch for the heated mirrors. Normally tied into the rear defrost, but obvoiusly no rear defrost here

3. Lastly, turn the switch on and go look in your rear storage area - I bet there is an LED puck light in there and that's the switch for it. Or it turns the LEDs on the front overhang on and off.

I hope this helps!

Thanks. I' will check out this one because I too have a switch for nowhere.

1. That is not a button on the dash it hides a screw. Something else must an space for some opinion.
2. That switch is for the mirror heaters.
3. That lower switch could be for the light in the large rear cargo bay. On my 260ds the bay light is on the far left. So turn it on and go check your cargo bay.
Happy RVing! [emoji41]

Yep. It is for the light in the storage compartment.
