Help with switches

[nate_]

So I am in the process of getting my camper ready for the season and have forgotten what these two switches do. I thought the second light switch worked the outdoor led strip, but it's not coming on. The bottom off white switch I have no clue.

Quick add, I know the first light switch on the control panel works the two ceiling lights as you walk in, and that you have to have the actual lights turned on for the wall light switches to work.

Maybe the second light switch is for the porch light? I'm not sure what the white switch is for. Turn it on and see what comes on.

The bottom two switches in your first pic appear to be slide and/or awning switches. You can push them both up and down from center, so "extend" and "retract."

I'd bet the white switch is for some kind of light, either under the steps, or inside the camper when you come in. If it's an inside light, I wish mine had something like that; my light switch is over my head while standing in the doorway.

LED strip light may have to be turned on with remote and have indoor switch turned on

awning and slides. their not on and off switches.

One mine one works the two inside lights the other works like a master switch for the awning LED lights.

Light switch by your ceiling light switch is for your led strip under your awning. Turn it on and then take your remote outside and the light should turn on with the remote. Then you should be able to turn it on and off with the interior switch. The lower switch by your door is for your accent lighting under the RV on the door side. Turn it on after dark or look under the RV with it in the on position and you should see the LED strip.

So I went out when it was dark and saw the second switch up high would flicker the led awning light. Left it on, grabbed the remote, and viola. The bottom white switch didn't do anything that I saw. My water heater is right there, but I have a water heater switch up high on the control panel. I don't remember it having lighting down low at the door last year. Down side of only getting to use the camper twice last year. Thank you all for your help.

My accent light runs about 18ft. It’s blue in color. The electric switch for my water heater is in the outside water heater access door. Propane switch is on my control panel. Hope you figure the switch out!

Okay, went back outside, and there are led lights under the door. We never even knew we had them. Turned the switch on and pressed the second power button on the blue remote and nothing happened. Is there a certain place you have to aim light the upper led lights?

Yes at the front of your led strip there should be an eye sticking out right under the awning. Toward the front of your RV

I recall the outside lights work with remote or switch which one was used last to turn on/off

Sorry, meant to type "like the awning lights" I figured out the sensor for the upper led lights, but I can't get the lower lights to kick on. Thanks again for the help.

Nate, I just read your post again. My accent lights don’t work with the remote. Only with the switch. You might want to check your GFI breakers if they aren’t coming on with the switch.

I'll check that.

So I checked and all the outlets have power. Is there some trick to get the led light at the steps to turn on? Floor switch does nothing.

I would check the fuses, then the switch to see if it is bad, after that check to see if you have power at the led strip. It’s possible a wire could be loose or broken. Make sure the switch is in the on position when checking for power at the light strip.

Figured it out. I went to check power to the led strip and the wires just fell out from the underneath. Cut the liner back and the led wires were never crimped correctly to the power leads. New connectors later and everything works. Thanks for all the help.
