I have a switch (momentary action) on my dash that, whilst pressed, cuts ALL the lights on the rear of my RV. Rear lights and marker lights. All other lights, sides and front, are unaffected.

Any idea why? (assuming it is not an electrical fault Smile

)

I bought a van with a similar switch many years ago. When I asked the seller what it was for he said that it was for when he was going home from the pub late at night down the country lanes he could cut the rear lights and confuse the police car that was chasing him. Shocked

I trust your switch has a much more sensible purpose. Laughing

Hi

I have two mom switches on the dash, one is for the truck horns on the roof which was disconnected for the MOT, the other is an Emergency Start switch which connects the house batteries to the starter battery via a relay.
I suspect it's a wiring fault .. I can think of no other explanation.. Confused

Hi WebAgents, it has two objectives,one to confuse smokey, but mainly to signal "thanks" to the vehicle that has flashed you to let you back in, mainly truckers.
