Next to Anderson valve - what is it? (Isata3)

What is this. It’s next to the Anderson valve and looks like a convenience light but the switch doesn’t seem to do anything.

Does the switch light up? If so that might be all it does. It could be a pump switch. Got a picture?

How to post a photo?

How do I post with a photo? I tried the phoyo icon but it then asks for a URL. But the photo is in a folder on my iPad and computer.

Below the panel where you compose your text there is a section "Additional Options" the second option down is Attach Files - click on the Manage Attachments in Grey and select the file from your computer to upload, click on upload and you can preview your picture when it uploads(You need to use the preview in the Options panel)

Hope this helps

Yes, It's an LED light fixture... Is there power to the fixture? Using a multi-meter check across the exposed leads on the switch... Did you take the len off ??

If it's a light, remove the cover and check the blub.

Looks like a light to me. Those yellow things look like LEDs.

That's an LED light. Check for voltage at the light. that will tell you whether it is the switch or the light.

Thanks. I’ll check the voltage. I didn’t recognize the LEDs.

There is another possibility that the polarity could be reversed which would prevent an LED from working.

Which switch are you using? I think they put a switch on the panel itself...but then there is a switch on the light (bottom). So could be the switch is off at the panel (or the switch is off at the light fixture). I just recall in a few cases the switches were redundant because we were using motion lights and if we ran out, we used the lights we put on the trucks. If that makes sense.

If that light fixture is in a compartment then you may also have a switch somewhere else labeled "Compartment Lights". On my Legacy MH, I have to first turn on the "Compartment Lights" switch inside then, I can turn on any or all of the individual lights in each compartment as needed.

Thanks

Yes, it’s in a compartment. I’ll search for another switch today.

Thanks.

I‘ll look again

I was there today but I didn’t see that. Of course I didn’t look there. I’ll look again on Thursday.
Thanks.

That’s it! Thanks. I never noticed that switch before. It’s right beside the water pump switch which I also didn’t know was there.
Much appreciated.

Jack

Thank you. Chroniekon had the answer. It was the black-on-black switch up in the corner, onlt 12 inches from the light. I had never noticed it before because I have to lean way down in order to see up there wherebit is very dark.
Thanks for you help.

Jack
