Mystery switch behind passenger seat

[James Paulley]

Hi I can't work out what this switch does behind passenger seat. Autotrail Cheyenne SE 2006. Cheers!

Outdoor light?

 

[TheBig1]

light in the wardrobe or bathroom?

 

[PP Bear]

It may well be the light for a locker, or bellylocker.

I‘ve one in my AT but in a different location and mine works the light in my battery bellylocker.

 

[James Paulley]

I will continue to hunt around thank you for the suggestions!!

If its not the ejector seat could it be grey water disposal?

I thought it was for activating the 'electric chair' to punish the passenger seat navigator for getting the route wrong.

Our first van was a Auto-Trail Cheyenne SE. It also had one of those and I never did find out what it was for.

My MH has a switch similar to that which is a master switch for the Truma Combi boiler.

Is it to call ones man servant

 

[MisterB]

It removes the pegs on a club site, to a place where you want to park !!

 

[Bailey58]

Are there any wires going to the back of it?

 

[bridgedino]

Grey water tank heater?

When we had an apache se, there was a switch under the audio/tv locker that controlled the night light built into the floor under the bathroom door. Do you have a nightlight and know which switch works it?

Only switch like that on my cheyenne is for an internal light above the hab door. Seems a strange location. Could be another retro fit.

when you have 12v power, wait til it’s dark and turn it on and off

It's for the electric curtain to save pulling it by hand

In our living room at home there's a light switch on it's own on the outside wall. We spent ages trying to figure out what it activated (would have made sense for it to be the outside lights for where it was). When we did the initial moving-in decorating my wife just painted around it. Eventually, several years after moving in, I was decorating so unscrewed it. To find it had no back box or wiring, just a small enough hole punched in the plasterboard for the switch mechanism to fit in. No idea why it had been put there like that!

Many years ago I built a fairly complex control panel, with lots of switches and indicator lights. I put one LED in the middle, labelled NARU, which flashed randomly. That was all it did - NARU standing for No Apparent Reason or Use

It's there to cause massive frustration when you can't figure out what it's for.......is it working?

Whoever buys our place will have the same 'what does that do' discussion when they see the light-up wall switch in the kitchen which we put in many years ago when we were going to install an instantaneous water heater but in the end decided not to, the switch has wiring going to it dropped down from the attic but it's not actually connected to the wiring up there as it would have gone to the water heater. When we redecorate the kitchen I might remove it completely to save confusion!

We have a blanking plate on the wall in our conservatory which was for the undefloor heating which we then decided we didnt need.

 

[Minxy]

Oh, just to add more confusion ... we have a wall fan in our conservatory, a small square vent type, the switch for it though is in the lounge on what used to be the outside wall, the reason for this is that it used to be for an external light so it could be switched on/off if going out/in the patio doors. As the fan is located is where the light was so we reused the switch and wiring for the fan ... whether the reason for the switch will be discovered though is debatable as it's hidden by the lounge patio door curtains which we wouldn't bother removing when we sell our place and with it not being in the conservatory unless someone stands in there when they flick it on so they'd hear it they wouldn't know.

If its not the ejector seat

I came looking for this answer!

 

[MisterB]

it provides excessive current to the passenger seat when occupied and switched on ..... commonly referred to as the MiL deactivation device ...


i bought my MiL a new chair last christmas, i keep trying to persuade her to plug it in ,,,,,
