I have a 12v light switch on the left side within a bank of three switches located inside the "Master control cabinet" that doesn't seem to turn on anything. The right switch turns on & off the porch light, the middle switch turns on & off the front outdoor "dome lights", and the left switch is labeled "scape lights" but I can't find a light. Any ideas? or is this possibly not connected to anything?

The scare lights are in the upper corner of the front of the Cruiser on the sides. They are a type of spot light. On my unit there are two of them

the scare lights are the big ones on the front on both sides of the camper however the switch could be for the outlet at the top by your awning so you can switch on and off the lights you put on there.

A yellow light inside the porch light or separate is called a scare light

I have the 2 "scare" lights(the two out front) & I have a switch for it. I also have a switch for the receptacle near the porch light. And I don't have any lights at the entertainment center. the dimming of the porch light when I turn on the phantom switch must mean something must be turning on. I keep going to the cruiser to check each post. Thanx in advance.

If you look at the top of the unit, by the awning, there might be a plug in receptical on my unit this is where we plug in the light for the awning, and the switch will turn them on and off

I have two Scare light switches. Left one turns on the street side and the right turns on the curb side. That way you canburn one side while not shining your other light in your neighbors bedroom window. The third switch is the amber door light.



You might want to pull your switch from the wall and inspect your wiring. If your right hand switch turns on both scare lights, it may bewired wrong.



Unless, they used that switch for something like a step light foryour door. Is there a light under the fold out steps?

That's it. Thanks Bob. I previously assumed that both lights turned on with one switch. Appreciate the help.
